>we'd found a few monsters in the building, but they were pretty quick to pick off. Mostly they'd all wandered toward our warehouse in the back lot. We used speers and blades to dispatch them, but we had our guns out just in case. None of them looked like they'd worked there or anything, and they only had the basic trash in their pockets. But the works locked up solid when we were done. Most of the stuff inside was drcals and range gear, we got a bunch of brushes, but all the cleaning oil was gone. Patches and cleaning rods and stuff, there were a few of those around, but without the cleaners, it's not much use. I think we probably got a few handfuls of loose bulets from drawers and under furniture, like you'd find coins laying around house. They're probably alright, im hoping they're alright. Merch wasn't too sure. He wanted to check everything for dynamite, even the loose bullets he wanted to check those for dynamite. Said he'd seen it too many times to trust a loose bullet. The primers on those things can be duds too, he was telling us, and he showed us how to check the edge of the primer and the shell case neck for corrosion and moisture exposure signs. He was even saying that smokeless powder breaks down over time, which i had no idea, but after a while it starts to smell acrid, and it's just fertilizer because of the nitrates. He puts the stinking powder on his garden, or he did.>When we finally opened the door on the big safe the room was empty except for few rifles and some cans. They were missmatched things, like the rifles he said that the bqrrels were forged to match the gun.Here the merchant breaks in.
>not to interrupt, but the term is force matched, and it's the bolt that is force matched to the gun. It happened at old military arsenals when the rifles would get put away from the field, and all the parts would get mixed up. Vefore importing them, they'd get force matched to fit, but they're not as safe.>yeah. We ll he was saying that we'd ve better off selling most of those, since he didn't have much 8mm ammo. And the bullets we did find were those cans. They're all done up in cyrilic with circles and weird "x" markings on them, and some had stripes of silver across them. But we have rifles that shoot that, and a beltfed machinegun he was saying, so we took all of the ammo first, and vroke it out of the crates to move it. It was in these wooden crates with 2 cans each, but they were too heavy to move, too unwieldy, so we left the empty crates and took the cans one at a time. They've held up pretty well, anyway we got 45 cans and each one has 440 cartridges inside. Im not sure the math, but it's a lot.You hear his story and gain general knowledge about weapons and ammunition identification, building clearing, searching for loot, loot identification, loot transportation, stealth tactics, map making, raid provisioning, trap detection, and trap avoidance.
