Chapter 20 – Weapons

Moe watched people arrive at the clubhouse as the mid-morning sun heated up.

“Nice assortment of stuff,” Clancy said, looking over the rows of tables covered with military hardware.

The sound of Amanda’s bobtail approached.

“Here comes the other half of the M-16s,” Moe said.

“Other half?” Clancy asked. “Holy shit.”

“Yeah, we’ll be well prepared,” Moe said.

Amanda and Curt walked in, each with armloads of M-16s.

“Want to give us a hand?” Curt asked.

“Hell yeah,” Clancy said, walking out. Kelly, Junior, and Nate walked up together and pitched in.

“So should we ditch the AK-47s for M-16s?” Nate asked.

Curt heard the question. “I’d switch to the M-16s,” he said.

“Why?” Kelly asked.

“Lighter, smaller ammo so you can carry more, better accuracy, faster and easier to change clips.”

“The AK-47 must have some advantages,” Junior said.

“They used to be significantly more reliable than the M-16,” Curt said. “This latest M-16 variant makes the difference very small.”

“Interesting,” Kelly said. “How much training does it take to switch over?”

“Not much,” Curt said. “You could do a comparison, you know. Take one of each back to the field and use those shot-up containers as targets.”

“That sounds like fun,” Clancy said.

“Sure does,” Junior said. “We’d better make sure that everybody in the park knows what we’re doing, though, or else some folks are liable to shit their pants.”

“Junior!” Rachel said, walking towards him with Brenda.

Junior got a sheepish grin on his face and shrugged. “Excuse my French.”

Rachel laughed as she encircled his waist. “I’m just messing with you. What were you talking about, anyway?”

“We were trying to figure out if we should switch from AK-47s to M-16s, now that we have a large supply.”

“And?” she asked.

“Sounds like the M-16 is the hot setup.”

“We should keep both around, and we should stay checked out on both,” Nate said. “A lot of AK ammo to be had.”

“That’s a good point,” Curt said. “I’m certainly not suggesting that we trash any of our weapons. Even the hunting rifles have value.”

“And the Thompsons,” Jason said, walking over.

“Those things belong in a museum,” Curt said.

Carrie and Kate chuckled as they approached with Chelsea. “Those Thompsons saved our asses at the hog blind, remember?” Carrie asked.

“Mommy, you said a bad word,” Chelsea said.

“You’re right, sweetie. I meant to say butts.”

Kate snickered. “Yeah, you’re right about the Thompsons saving our butts.”

People were streaming into the clubhouse to pick up weapons. Moe got on the PA system.

“We got most of the people here?” he asked.

“Looks like it,” Kyle said.

“Yeah,” Eric said, standing by a table with Kim.

“Good,” Moe said. “How many of you are trained on the M-16 Rifle?”

Roughly a quarter of the people raised their hands.

“Okay, then we need to hold a few training sessions,” Moe said. “How many of you feel confident enough to train others on these weapons?”

“I do,” Eric said.

“Me too,” Curt said.

“You’ll be too busy manufacturing gimbals and sights,” Jason said. “I can train, and so can Kyle.”

“Me too,” Gray said. “I’ve got a few people who are better than me in my group.
