Arms dealer in another world

First steps as a business

Honor.

It was one of those words that didn't mean much to security.

Because of this, when I was working as an arms dealer on Earth, security made me a guest without hesitation that even non-existent human scum would be honored.

Honor wasn't much to consider.

C. Money and credit were more important than fame. It was not just about choosing customers, it was also about protecting myself.

The Dwarf was too different from that guard. I thought the entire Dwarf race respected honor, not individuals.

There were many habits that arose from the traits of honor-conscious Dwarves. Among them, they said, "If you make a promise, you must keep it."

Once made, I was treated as the Dewp's own honor.

Because of this, many Dwarves tried never to break their promise, whether they were violent or mild, with very rare exceptions.

The promise was considered more precious than life, and there were some who chose death just because they made a promise by mistake.

I thought the escort who found out about this would be happy first. It was considered a useful trait at the same time.

Honor was a very important law apart from credit because it was also a business for arms dealers. There are many different credits, but the importance of promises among them is to say

There is none.

That is, the Dwarves are honorable and good at keeping promises, so they can also be trusted business opponents.

Despite the fact that the Red Crystal Tribe had brutally slaughtered their own kind, the Dwarf's honor still mattered. Thanks to them, they were also worthy of high ratings in terms of credit.

The guard decided to be careful not to break the trust of the Dwarves, but of me.

Really Difficult Dwarf Business Part

You. I also knew that it was not easy to rebuild this relationship from the beginning in other worlds.

“This is the prototype I told you about. ”

The guard laid down a few shotguns and a hundred rounds of live ammo. Gelloth nods, looking at them.

“Yes, for now, this is the best? ”

“Yes, more sophisticated and sophisticated weapons are still impossible to make and maintain at a meaningful level. ”

Then the guard picks up his shotgun.

This shotgun is more advanced than last time. It was still a primitive single-handedly mid-service shotgun that fired and unloaded with a single barrel, but it was different in detail.

One was made on the basis of a guarded human size and the other on the basis of a dwarf size such as a gelrod. Guns, headboards, triggers, etc. were all made in accordance with their standards.

The bassinet is not for decoration, but also has an iron to hold onto the shoulder to reduce rebound, and aims at the tip of the gun.

C.

In the 21st century, it was a shotgun shotgun firearm, which was rarely used for hunting, but in this world it was an unprecedented weapon.

Gelrod, who received a mountain bullet made to fit the size of a dwarf, looked closely. Even though the guard didn't teach me, I found out about the ‘fast’ and tried to put the gun down again.

“You know it's a structure that pulls the trigger here, hits something, and fires it through this coffin. ”

“That's right.”

“And getting in here is a bullet in here? ”

“Yes.”

Gel Lord said he saw a shotgun made about a hundred feet.

“You made a hundred arrows, to say the least. However, I've heard that this bullet is much harder to make than an arrow. ”

I know that arrows are easy to make. It takes care of the arrowheads, the arrowheads, and the collars of the arrows to make them of the right quality.

Because on Earth, arrows are more than bullets.

It was much more expensive.

However, it was possible to mass-produce using machines with quality control in numerous factories, as the primary weapon with full ammunition everywhere. The higher the volume, the lower the manufacturing cost.

Bullets, on the other hand, come from only a handful of people in the world.

With the Dwarf's dexterity and spirit's support, it was even better to create something that was faster than I thought, but he also had limitations.

They make a hundred rounds of shotgun shells.

It took about ten days.

Given that it was not made of machinery in the factory, but also made of poor quality, it was fast, but it was also difficult to use the expression 'mass-production’.

Perhaps if they had made arrows with the same level of manpower and money, they would have drawn several times more. That means Merritt has to go through all that trouble to get a gun and a bullet to be recognized.

The guard loaded his shotgun and said:

“Then I'll show you. ”

“Ugh."

Fee.

A man-shaped target is set soon.

Distance is about 5 meters. The guard carefully aims his first foot and pulls the trigger. A slug bullet fired with a gunshot blows nearly half the head of a target made of nothing.

The eyes of the gelrod saw the results. The guard then breaks the gun, unloads and reloads, and fires a few more shots. They all hit, and the target was completely destroyed.

“Fantastic. It's not a magically enhanced weapon, but you can do this." ”

Magically enhanced weapons can have all sorts of effects. From the extremely simple effect that sharpness lasts longer than ordinary weapons, there are also scary weapons that emit fire or flash lightning with every swing.

It is hard to imagine that a weapon of this magnitude, such a weapon of this magnitude, is capable of such power by a Dwarf's common sense.

A sword wielded by a skilled manipulator of Mana, this is purely a power created only by the power of guns and bullets.

Guards are the only ones who can handle a gun like that.

I taught him the law. Gellod, who heard it, put a bullet in his own hand and stretched out the broken gun. Then he aimed his own way and pulled the trigger.

The gunfire strikes again. The slug bullet grazes the target's arm and makes a pretty big hole in the wall.

Generally speaking, Dwarves are stronger than Humans. The shooting reflexes, which I'm not sure would be familiar with, were not a big problem.

Gellod attempts to reload with his weapon, as the guard has taught him. impeachment

The guard had to come a little bit because he couldn't pull it out, but the successful Gelrod pulled the trigger again until it reloaded.

This shot was better than the first. One of the target's legs flies away. Gelrod reloads a few more times and fires his gun.

The precise hit was rare, and even missed, but he fired about ten shots, leaving little or no trace of the target.

Gelerod smiled as if he felt the pleasure of destruction.

“What a great weapon. It was rewarding of you to help. ”

“Thank you."

“So, are you going to keep it that way? ”

“This is a prototype. It may be hard to expect a revolutionary development here right now, but there are still areas to improve. ”

The shotgun, as the guard said, was only a product of poetry. There were many things that could be improved.

Also, there were many wealthy people who could be more useful guns with a few improvements, even if not at the level of "before the revolution."

Can be made into a ‘Double Barrel Shotgun’ with two guns attached. There is no need for sophisticated construction, and it is also possible to make safeguards that work well without the need to touch the ball. It can be modified more conveniently than the crane and handle.

After all the improvements I was thinking about, maybe more advanced shotguns were created than this prototype. although you can't escape the primitive "Chinese shotgun."

“By the way, this weapon. I like a lot of things... but the distance seems too short. It looks much shorter than a bow or crossbow."

“That's the biggest weakness of a shotgun. It's not that we don't have some way to fix it. ”

“How do I fix this? ”

“There is a way to make a 'Rifled Slug’ by putting a steel wire in the gun or digging a groove to serve as a steel wire in the slug holder. ”

Steel lines, slugs, and rifled slugs were all words that were unfamiliar to Gellod.

“What is the sound of steel wire, slug burn, and rifled slug? ”

Security deliberately explained. Nevertheless, Gelrod, uh...

It seemed to understand somewhat. Despite the three other engineering concepts, it was actually surprising to understand a little bit.

“I don't know the details. Anyway, one power seems to be sure. I will continue to support you. ”

“Thank you."

“By the way... what are you going to do when you finish these weapons?" ”

“There are many ways, but I should also respect the opinion of the chief who is a broker. ”

“You said you were an arms dealer. Are you going to sell these? ”

“I'm thinking about that, too.

“A word of advice. You can't just sell weapons like this. ”

Despite guessing the reason, the guard deliberately asked.

“Why? ”

"Imperial bastards aren't blind and deaf. ”

It was the same reason the guard thought it was.

The weapon, known as a gun made from knowledge from other worlds, is clearly John Zay.

If the escort were to personally roll a few, that would be a few dozen.

How many hundreds of them rolled in some kind of anti-empire? Of course, the Empire will also be aware of the existence of a weapon called a gun.

Then it was obvious. With overwhelming manpower and power, we will defeat a group of impurity molecules carrying guns and pursue the one who created them.

In fact, the security guard thought it would happen someday. Regardless of how you work in arms, the above will happen eventually.

The problem was time.

In a situation like this, you're only friendly with one Dwarf tribe.

If you sell bullets like that, you might have to deal with the Empire on your own. Then it will be difficult for even an individual to survive, not a door.

Playing arms dealer with guns and bullets is not the same as selling dirty grenades to thugs.

Grenades can be thought of as alchemy or magic, but they can't be thought of as merely alchemy or magic when they're torn apart by guns and bullets.

A weapon born with new knowledge that is completely heard and never seen from another world. It rolls a few hundred rounds.

It must attract the eyes of the Empire itself.

Clearly, being an arms dealer in this world had to approach it from a different point of view than being an arms dealer on Earth.

I have already successfully secured my position as an arms dealer, but it is a kind of test, not to mention the size. When I started working in earnest, I was still thinking about what to do.

Immediately, a lot of thoughts were touched and the guard asked a question pretending not to know.

“Absolutely. Do you have a good opinion, Chief? ”

“It's simple. Only our tribe can handle it. ”

“You mean you want to monopolize the gun. ”

“Yes."

Guards had a few principles. One of them would sell exclusively, but it was never acceptable to buy exclusively from the customer.

Of course, the security guard was not foolish enough to say that now.

“I'll think about it. because there's so much to do right now. ”

“Yes, think about it. ”

“And I have a favor to ask you. ”

“What?”

“I want to learn about spirits. ”

“That much I can listen to. ”

Gelrod agreed to a request for escort, although he did not hear the answer to the business, but was happy to see the results were still supported.

Gelerod left, and the guard thought again alone.

The last time you sold a grenade to gangsters, try it before you get into business.

It was only to the extent that I saw it. In order to start a business in earnest, you need to move more carefully than before.

The Joint Chiefs of the Anti-Imperial Alliance would have been destroyed and everything there would have been underwater. So we can't rule out the possibility that the Empire has found a trail of security.

Just because you found a trace of security doesn't mean you have to keep an eye on it. However, there is no law that says, "Do not state poetry."

‘Once you allow the Red Crystal tribe to buy exclusively, it may also be a way. Or we'll have to find another way...

The answer was not easy.

We need more time. The security here has decided to start from the first day we learn something new.
