"Yeah, thanks." Daniel says, smiling slightly. "You got it exactly. Dream or not, it's like everything depends on us. If we fail, nothing. Not even anyone to miss us." He shakes his head. "Gunwise, I'd say go with the MP5K, but that's just because it's the only one I know anything about. What's the difference between that and an MP7?"
Daniel pulls the compass like thing out of his coat pocket. "Anyone know what this is?"

Festy grins evilly, having a reason to speak in depth about guns, and rubs his hands together before beginning.
"Well, the MP5K (K standing for Kurz, or short) as everyone knows is a scaled down version of the MP5. It was originally made in 1976 by the request of HK representatives in South America, they wanted compact firepower for protecting important peoples. What makes it a potential choice is the fact its a classic, and the whole suitcase deal. There are suitcases made specifically for putting it in so it can be fired from inside them. The trigger is in the handle of the suitcase in fact, very sneaky. A bit of trivia: the MP5K doesn't have a shoulder stock, in 1991 however stocks were made for it and MP5K's fitted with them are known as MP5-PDW's.
"The MP7 is a more recent project of HK, its a sub-machine gun not but doesn't resemble the MP5K in the slightest. It resembles a futuristic Uzi I guess, but is only about the size of the SOCOM or Desert Eagle. It could be considered a competitor to the FN P90 (from Stargate) in fact, very similar ammunition: the MP7 uses 4.6 x 30mm whereas the P90 uses 5.7 x 28mm. A standard in-the-grip magazine for the MP7 contains 20 rounds (just like the FN FiveseveN (my current avatar) which uses the same ammo as the FN P90) and a 40 round sickle clip extends below the grip. What makes the MP7 superior to the P90 though is if you drop a partially loaded P90 magazine bullets within the magazine will be scattered about, causing serious jammage, obviously with its standard magazine design the MP7 doesn't suffer this problem. There's a pile of other features I'd like to mention, in addition to the stuff I wanna say about the other weapons, but I think I've said too much already.
"One other thing though, the reason for HK's attempt to better the P90 could stem from when the company started making guns about 5 years after WW2. Back when they started, they asked FN (Fabrique Nationale) for the rights to build FAL's, FN's assault rifle of the time. Obviously being so close after WW2, and Fabrique Nationale being a French company, they said, "F
ck Off!", this lead to the creation of the G3, but thats another story..."Festy smiles proudly.
"Oh, and your watch thingy is probably the one from the Tomb Raider movie, therefore if you could get it working you could solve this problem before it even became one, which could lead to other problems associated with time travel, but you'd know the whole deal."

Hanh's head poked out from where she hand been buried in a bunch of spellbooks. "Huh wha? Oh!" She bounded across the room, tacking James-Jemal, knocking him to the ground and sitting on top of him while chewing on the bag of choc-chip cookies.
"Oh yeah! Chocolate! I looooove chocolate," the young woman exclaims with heightened giddiness before she got a chunk of the bag off so she could stick her face in and have some cookies. "So..." her muffled voice echoes from the depths of the bag. "Where do you guys want to go now?"
Pikachu stares at the chessboard thoughtfully before stuffing a chess piece in his mouth and then spitting it out. "*Pika! Pika pika peeeeekachu," he says, sticking his tongue at Mario and making a face.
*Yuck! This tastes terrible!"

"Time travel? Man, that's two headaches waiting to happen." He holds the watch out. "Gandalf, could you double check this for me?"
"So, we want to meet up with snake, then hit this Alley?"
Daniel turns back to Festy. "On the way, could you explain about Socoms?"

"My pleasure," Festy replies.
"The SOCOM (Special Operations COMmand, name adopted from who it was made for, official name is the Mark 23 Mod 0), which some would already know from Metal Gear Solid and its sequel, is part of the HK USP series and was made back in 1991 (same year as the .50 Action Express round was made for the Desert Eagle) which happened to be after the first game Solid Snake was featured in (Metal Gear was made in the late 80's, dunno what console it was for). The reason for its creation was a request by the US government for an 'offensive' pistol, seeing as most military sidearms are purely made as a secondary weapon for self-defense. A large contract was on the line and Heckler & Koch and Colt were competeing for it. No doubt HK came out on top with the SOCOM. Its about the size of a Desert Eagle (ie. big) and has a clip of twelve .45 ACP rounds. The suppressor works remarkebly, wet or dry, though better when wet. There is also the chunky setup in front of the trigger group, its composed of a flashlight, a visible red dot laser, and an infra-red laser (for when using IR goggles obviously). I mentioned a while ago how the older models of the SOCOM had a slide-lock function, anyone who's played 'Medal of Honour: Allied Assault' would have come into contact with with a slide locked pistol, the Hi-Standard Silenced. How slide locking works is that it makes the gun quieter by directing all the force out through the barrel and thus the suppressor (a suppressor ensures a bullet doesn't exceed the speed of sound, preventing the 'bang'), when the slide isn't locked there's the sound of the slide to take into consideration and sound that escapes through the ejection port. The slide then has to be manually operated, which allows the user to collect the spent shell easily afterwards for that extra bit of stealth. The pistol is normally semi-auto though and slide-lock is just a 'mode' you could put the gun into. I think thats about it," Festy says, and takes a breath.

"I beg your pardon, time travel?" says Patrik, looking quite confused. "Why are you guys talking about time travel, or was there something I missed 'cause I wasn't listening?"
