"Sosuke!!"

"Yes? Did you recieve the present I supplied you with?"

"Didn't you remember that I specifically told you not to get me anything military related?"

"Afirmative."

"Just what, WHAT is not 'military related' about a GUN?"

"The Walter P-99 was designed for police use and is not used by any conventional military or guerilla force in the world."

"You do remember that guns are illegal in Japan?"

"That means it will give you a significant advantage. No only will it possess a useful suprise value, but you will have a potentially decisive tactical edge against non-professional opponents."

" . . . . . and . . . . what if I acidentally hit someone with it? A stray shot, in a school . . . "

"I supplied you with Glaser safety rounds. They are designed to fragment on impact and therefore won't pentrate walls, greatly minimising the risks of collateral damage. The security guards on El Al flights use them for that exact reason, so they can neutralise a terroist with risking depresurising the aircraft."

"Couldn't you have got me something more . . . elegant? I asked you to try, remember."

"I didn't really understand, but Sgt. Weber suggested 'More James Bond, less Rambo'. The P-99 was the gun used in the more recent Bond films."

"You really 'thought' a lot about this."

"Of course, your safety and happiness are my primary objectives."
