Sorry, Wednesday is date night for me, and I just started a new job so i was at work all day yesterday. I'll do a roll now.
In regards to Guns, I'm only rolling 11 dice against the Johnson's ideally non-edge augmented roll to try for a better price on Yuri, ramirez, and Alan, due to the smuggling work we already do.
As to why I'm smuggling Drugs, not guns: I already have 140 doses of Novacoke, and with only (at the moment) a portion of the 6 grand we'd get up front, we couldn't really afford a great many firearms. That's only what, a dozen ak-94s if we spend all our cash? Any less then ten and it isn't even worth the risk. Weapons smuggling requires some financing, with at least 10-15k to invest in product, hoping to reap a 25-50% profit at the end of it. Less then that, and it's less "smuggling" and more fencing. If i negotiate well and get a higher up front cut, or I can swing a contract to smuggle someone else's goods, then weapons it will be!
