"Well, ammo fer a .44 can be a real bitch to find, so ah wouldn't blame somepony if they went with somethin' a little smaller. A 10mm is fairly lightweight, ammo's easy enough to get, and if it's modded right like how y'all did it, it can have a decent punch. It's a respectable choice in weapons."

"I suppose... It's no shotgun though," an Idea popped into Fire's head, "Riley can I borrow your-" he said before Riley interrupted with a short and simple "no" meaning Fire would either have to walk to his idea or not go at all if the synthetic mare wouldn't allow him to drive

"What do y'all wanna borrow?" asked Redwood, a bit intrigued by what Fire wanted to do.

 

Gadget thought that Fire's introduction could have gone a little better, but he was able to talk guns with Redwood, so that probably earned him some points. Still, it would have helped if he was a little less clumsy.

"her truck... but it's not for the photos I swear!" Fire said trying to explain to the mares that he wasn't after the pictures of Riley and instead just wanted the truck, "c'mon Riley please? I need the truck for my idea!" Fire seemed pretty desperate but Riley wouldn't give him the keys

"Anything?" Riley said with a devilish grin on her face

Fire picked up an automatic combat rifle which had a little bit of rust on the barrel but nothing that couldn't be cleaned off with a little to no effort, he took some .45 calibre ammo and loaded it into the rifle "How's this? too greedy or okay?" Fire asked

"yeah, I will," Fire picked up some more ammo and kept looking through the shelves, he took some grenades and mines as well for a bit more defence in combat, he took the rifle over to the workbench and began to work on it adding and removing different mods

Fire was stubborn and wouldn't be convinced otherwise, and Redwood supposed that was admirable in its own right. After all, she was the same way. There was definitely some potential in Fire, and whith that right training and some guidance, he could really turn out to be something.
