Chapter 150: Andre, who dismantles a gun as easily as drinking water
After the three of them pushed the door open and entered the gun store, they saw all kinds of firearms everywhere.
With wooden glass display cases, white ceilings, and warm yellow lights, the overall atmosphere in the gun store is quite cozy.
On the walls, there is everything from double-barreled shotguns for hunting, old-fashioned "Finger Destroyer" M1 Garand rifles, "Chicago Typewriter" Thompson submachine guns, to modern Colt M4 carbines.
Not only are there American weapons, but there are also several Russian-made Saiga-12 semi-automatic shotguns and brand-new AKM assault rifles.
There is a DP-28 light machine gun mounted directly on the glass display case on the right hand side of the entrance.
That’s right, under the strict restrictions of California law, this gun store can not only sell fully automatic weapons, but even light machine guns!
This is enough to show how high the level of this gun shop is.
"Welcome to Kendo Gun Shop!"
"See for yourself what you want!"
The boss at the front desk who was idle saw someone coming, smiled and said a welcome, and motioned for the three people to look for themselves what they wanted.
Yang Ren looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with short black hair, a pair of glasses lifted above his forehead and wearing a green jacket.
He had a long, slightly gray beard on his face. He looked to be about forty years old and a little overweight.
One look gives people the feeling of a strong man.
"Robert Kendo?"
Yang Ren tried to call out.
Because if he remembered correctly, Robert Kendo should have died in Raccoon City.
His daughter Emma was infected with the virus and could not be saved. Robert used a shotgun to painlessly release Emma, and then shot himself and committed suicide.
The scene after Leon and Ada entered the gun shop was so moving that he almost dropped pearls when he was playing there. It was a deep memory.
So, who is this middle-aged man in [Kendo Gun Store] now?
As she called out the name, Claire glanced at Yang Ren in confusion.
"You know Robert?"
Without waiting for the gun store owner to respond, Claire asked first.
Before the Raccoon City incident, Claire had no doubt known Robert Kendo through Chris's introduction.
After all, the entire STARS team's sidearm [Samurai Blade] was modified by Robert, and he would also provide them with ammunition and other equipment on a regular basis.
As such a legendary gunsmith, Chris would of course introduce Robert to Claire.
But Yang Ren...
Claire had never told Yang Ren about Robert, and he himself had never been to the Kendo Gun Store in Raccoon City, so how could he know Robert?
"Uh... Leon told me about him."
Yang Ren realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he made up a lie to cover it up.
When you are in doubt, just blame it on Lyon.
“Oh~…”
Claire nodded thoughtfully.
"You mean my brother?"
"I am Robert Kendo's brother, Joseph Kendo."
"Since you know Robert, I can give you a little discount. Feel free to look at whatever you want."
When the gun shop owner heard the name, his expression showed a hint of suspicion, but he quickly returned to normal and responded with a smile.
"But, Robert is not in Raccoon City..."
"——Boss, can I see this?"
Yang Ren was just about to ask about Robert's death in Raccoon City when he heard Andre's call from behind.
Turning back, I saw that he was staring at a "brand new" AKM hanging on the wall, and his eyes were almost shining.
"of course can!"
Joseph walked around the counter with a smile, came to the AKM hanging on the wall, took it down and placed it in front of Andre.
After looking at it carefully for a moment, the latter made another request:
"Can I open it and take a look?"
Hearing this, Joseph's smile froze.
But after thinking for a moment, I agreed:
"of course can!"
The next moment after getting Joseph's permission, Andre immediately began to disassemble and assemble the gun.
Unload the magazine, pull the bolt, remove the cleaning rod, unscrew the muzzle brake, press the rear end of the recoil spring guide rod, lift up and remove the receiver cover...
Suddenly, the only sound in the entire gun store was the noisy metal clashing sounds caused by the guns being disassembled, and the three people watching were all dumbfounded.
Before their brains could even react, the AKM was put back in at an extremely fast speed.
Kaka——!
"The solid red pine grip and stock... just beautiful."
"No doubt about it, this must be an AKM produced by the Tula Arsenal before 1970!"
After pulling the bolt to test the gun, Andre loaded the magazine and came to a conclusion.
Yang Ren and Claire on the side looked at each other, and saw the concrete shock from each other's dull facial expressions.
[It took him about 10 seconds to dismantle and assemble the whole thing?]
[——Maybe… yes.]
The two people's impressions of Andre were refreshed again.
"Oh...oh, sir, you really know what you are talking about!"
"This is an AKM produced by the Tula Arsenal in 1966. It is an absolutely authentic Soviet product. I spent a lot of money to get it!"
"If you want it... since you know Robert, I'll sell it to you for $2000!"
Joseph was also immersed in the scene where Andre had just dismantled the gun at a high speed. After he came to his senses, he happily gave a quote.
Who would have thought that such a sloppy-looking guy is so familiar with disassembling and assembling guns? It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
After hearing the offer, Andre turned his head and looked at Yang Ren with an eager expression.
The latter gradually frowned:
2000 US dollars is not a lot, equivalent to more than 6 RMB in later generations.
Okay, Andre, just wait for me.
If you don't make me some guns worth 2000 million US dollars, I will kill you severely.
"Okay, I bought it."
After paying the bill on the spot, Andre stood quietly aside, holding his precious collectible ancient relic AKM.
The episode was over, and Yang Ren was ready to continue asking Joseph about Robert.
"Joe! Where are the 5.7X28 SS197SR ammunition?!"
Before he could open his mouth, a deep shout suddenly came from the iron door leading to the back room... the backyard... and the interior of the gun shop.
"Uh...it should be in the middle of the largest container. Look inside."
After a brief thought, Joseph responded.
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a black and yellow plaid shirt, with some stubble on his face and a slightly plump figure, opened the iron gate and walked out.
He also held four boxes of pistol bullets and two exquisite FN-57 pistols, one black and one yellow.
The moment they saw this person, Yang Ren and Claire shouted in unison:
"Robert!"
