It did not seem like he had never seen a gun before.
Dave looked at him and narrowed his eyes.
“Benjamin? Do you know what kind of gun this is?”
“It's a P1A907 made in,” Benjamin responded.
Dave stared at him in surprise. “Didn't you say that you've never seen one before?”
“Mr. Dave, although this gun looks small, it has a strong recoil. It's easy to hurt yourself when using it, so the gun manufacturers stopped producing it. This gun is a limited edition. How could I have seen this before?”
“Then, how do you know about it?”
Benjamin smiled. “I told you before. I like guns, so I specially researched them. I can tell you the names of all the guns here.”
Dave turned around to look at Kenneth before looking at Benjamin again. Without saying a word, he stood up and took a gun near him. “Then, what's this?”
Benjamin glanced at the gun. “It's a PA903 gun. It's also manufactured in Granatano, but its shooting range isn't good enough, so they manufactured less of these guns.”
Dave picked up another firearm near him. “What about this?”
“This is a ZB-93 gun manufactured in Jetroina.”
“What about this?”
“A 7.62 mm BM65 rifle.”
Dave was astounded by Benjamin's ability to answer his questions fluently. He picked up a plain-looking gun and asked Benjamin, “What about this?”
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and stared at it.
He walked over and took it from Dave before inspecting it.
“Why can't you answer me?” Dave asked.
Benjamin raised his head and stared at Dave. “Mr. Dave, this gun looks like it has been modified. Although there's some wear and tear on it, I can tell that it's an Irushean gun. Am I right?”
Dave was stunned.
Benjamin stared at the silent Dave for a moment before pressing for a reply. “Am I correct, Mr. Dave?”
Dave scrutinized him for a moment before nodding his head. “You're right.”
The corner of Benjamin's lips curved up, and a trace of pride appeared on his face.
“However, Mr. Dave, this gun's modifications are subpar. It is not precise and can't be used in short-range distances. Yet when shot from a distance, it can be dangerous,” Benjamin said.
Dave narrowed his eyes again. He looked at Kenneth. There was an indescribable emotion in Kenneth's eyes.
A moment later, Kenneth murmured, “You even noticed that?”
“Yes!”
“How?”
“Well, I don't know how to explain, but I can demonstrate,” Benjamin said.
Demonstrate?
Dave passed the gun to him.
Benjamin stared at him and asked, “Do you want me to modify this?”
“Go ahead and try,” Dave replied.
Benjamin grinned and walked to a table. He took a quick look at the gun before dismantling it.
Kenneth and Dave stood in a corner staring at him. They did not speak, but the same expression was on their faces.
After Benjamin had dismantled the gun, he examined it for a moment before taking some tools. He tightened a few bolts and tidied up some loose ends, looking like a child who was playing make-pretend.
A while later, Benjamin smiled with satisfaction before putting the gun together again. After inspecting it, he nodded, satisfied, and looked at Dave. “Mr. Dave, it's done. Please try it.”
Dave glanced at Kenneth before walking to the shooting range.
