He said, "Don't give him a gun."

He said, "Don't give him a gun."

The reply was, "Why?"

He didn't respond.

Larry had pondered the type of car to use in case war broke out and he had to go cross country. He thought back to when he worked on Hummers. He had spent some time working for a group that put high performance after builds on hummers. That team had built units for the Mayor of Moscow, which later got stolen, and other units for racing in the sand dunes outside of Kuwait.

One of the customers was a guy by the name of Wally. Wally made his money from buying old classic airplanes and refurbishing them to a new state. Wally was cool.

Larry learned from Wally. Wally had reconfigured the chassis and drive train on his hummer, and started doing the same for others that found out what he did. Hummers had a flaw. Well probably more than one, but Wally zeroed in on one in particular. The trans axles were all different lengths. It meant you had to carry 4 trans axles on each hummer in order to have a spare in case the CV joints or a trans axle busted. With Wally's adjustment to the chassis, you could carry one or two trans axles and get away with it because he made the undercarriage adapt to a single length axle. If you had to travel light weight you could do so with one spare, but if you were smart, you kept two around, for that just in case moment.

Larry was also fond of the Springfield Arms 1911 long barrel. It is in fact a terrible gun. It is heavy and awkward in a number of ways, it doesn't balance well in the hand. The slide has an issue with not having been tooled correctly and occasionally will pop right off while the pistol is being fired. Larry retooled his. He liked them because of the fit in his hands.

He thought about repeating himself but he didn't, he hoped it was enough to warn his partner about Larry.
