Change the tires, if I can find the equipment to do so.
Ah, no AKs or ARs, huh? Alrighty, we'll take a box of both of the guns and plenty of ammo; I don't see that we'll be needed explosives.

You do. (Should I roll for that?)

You don't know the difference between an M-16 and an AR-15? The difference is that the M-16 has a selector switch. It will fire, semi-auto, triburt, and full auto. The AR-15 has no selector switch, and is semi-auto only. In other words, quit complaining. You've got something better than you wanted.
In your own excitment, you failed to notice your partner. He's giddy as a schoolboy.
"We don't need explosives, you say? We might not *need* them, but we're damn sure going to take them!!!! Carnage, mayhem, destruction, here we come!!!!"
It's like he's unleashed something.
Haha, pardon me. After a little ooc research, my character's reaction would be a thought of "why are these AR-15s in a box that says M16s are inside it?" (Apparently, according to Wikipedia's sections both on M16s and AR-15s, M16s are AR-15s used by the US military; for some reason, I had thought that M16s were single fire - semi-auto, but not full auto, and had a considerably different idea of what they looked like)
No need to roll, really; I've changed tires before, and it's not like I'm time limited.
Ahh... "Um, ok... just don't blow anything up that we need, ok?"

"You still don't get it, do you? We have the WHOLE WORLD to ourselves!!!!!! If we reduce this whole city to rubble, we just move on to the next city and do it all over again!!!!!!! I'm gonna put a couple of those LAW rockets into the side of a skyscraper!!! You want to join me????"
He's a little too excited.
So, tell me everything you're taking.
One jeep, one box of M-16 assault rifles, one box of Colt .45s, and ammo for the guns.
And whatever he wants...
One jeep, 4 M-16s, 4 45s, and a few thousand rounds each, it is.
"You take that jeep. I'm gonna see if I can get this tank started!! I'm gonna drive it through the police station!!!! I'll teach them to give me a parking ticket! Man, I can't believe I never did this before!! Fun times are ahead."
And if you wouldn't mind explaining to me how the mechanics work for him figuring out how to drive the tank, I'd appreciate it.
Well, it probably isn't much different than figuring out how to operate a car; it's likely a similar bias.
I think, though, that using the massive turret on top is a 6@4 skill under a heavy artillery heading.
He gets in the tank and tries to start it. The battery is dead.
"Doesn't that just frost it?"
He settles for another jeep. He takes several crates of LAW rockets and other explosives, as well as more than enough guns and ammo.
"You've got a warehouse full of military hardware, and all you take are a couple of rifles and pistols? What kind of a verser are you?"
Starting his jeep, he screams "LET'S BLOW THE $#!+ OUTTA SOMETHING!!!!!!!" and speeds away.

I consider what he said for a moment, then think that all that destruction isn't really all that fun. I start my own jeep to make sure it's running, then shut it off again and grab one of the M16s and mess around with it; if there are directions in the box, I'll read them and assemble/disassemble/assemble the weapon, and load it, make sure the safety is off, fire a shot out the window, and then continue searching the complex.
You find the directions in the box. Would shooting it be a skill learning roll? I'm pretty sure your chance of success wold be over 100%, so I might just roll to see how well you learned it.
After about 20 minutes, the guy comes back.
"What are you doing man? Versers are immortal. We got all the time in the world, let's come back here later. Now's the time to PAAAARTAAAY!!!!!!! I can't believe I never did this before!!!!!!"
You get the distinct feeling that this guy isn't playing with a full deck. Of course, he HAS been alone for 20 years. Your arrival seems to have unleashed something in him. Not dark, not sinister, not even really dangerous. Just a trapped animal.

Shooting it would be a skill learning roll, yeah. I have a 1@1 SAL at writing in various computer code languages, so that's a bias of 111 vs a -64 for the gun comes to 47 base, with my probably 21 bra comes to 68, with the world bias level (not doubled) which probably at least supports the guns, so if it's only level 6 that brings it to 74, if it's 11 that's 79, example of probably at least professional, so barring any negative sitmods it looks like rolling isn't necessary, if you concur with my assessment.

"Dude, there's stuff here I still want. If I'm going to be living forever, I'll at least want a bulletproof vest."
Roll 96 1@3 use M-16. All biases are 15@10, just because the ref is lazy. Your partner won't ever do psionics again, so he won't show you anything, and he doesn't know any magic.
"Dude, there's stuff here I still want. If I'm going to be living forever, I'll at least want a bulletproof vest."
"Dude, what for? There's nobody here to shoot at you. You're right though. What am I thinking settling for a jeep full of trinkets? There's a couple deuce and a half trucks over there in the other lot. I been waiting 20 years to have some fun. What's another day? Let's clean this place out!!!!!!!!"

"Just because I'm not getting shot at here doesn't mean I won't get shot at eventually."
We'll try to find a way in to another part of the compound; I'm looting the place, trying to find specifically, in order of most wanted to less but still wanted,
fatigues
kevlar equipment for various body parts
some sort of head protection
a flamethrower
a sharp martial weapon
a blunt martial weapon
a taser
Obviously, other items, such as grenade launchers or chemical weapons, are always welcome.

After further searching the complex, you find fatigues, several Kevlar vests, helmets, Kabar knives, Asp collapsible batons, flamethrowers, grenade launchers, LAW rockets, no chemical weapons, no really major artillery. There's tanks of course, but that's about the baddest thing here. This seems to be a supply base for foot soldiers. If a soldier can carry it, it's here.
You spend the day searching with your partner. You've got 2 trucks loaded. You also find cases and cases of MREs.
With a happy/evil grin, your partner says "Tee hee hee, let's head back to my place and sack out. We'll burn the town down tomorrow."
"Sounds good to me."
A helmet, vest, knife, baton, flamethrower, and 4 fatigues in my size I am claiming as clearly without a doubt mine. I'll change into them in the morning before we go tossing grenades under cars.
Keep track of that. I'm not terribly good with that.
You've also go a lot of other stuff you didn't put on the list. I mean, you had access to an army base free for the taking. There will be surprises in the gear from time to time.
"Ya know what? Only reason to go all the way back to my house is because of the electricity. We can crash anyplace we want to. MREs don't need to be cooked, the place will probably have candles and stuff. What do you say? Just find the closest crash pad."

"Well, just because humans are gone doesn't say anything for wild dogs. I'd say it'd be best to be somewhere with a good sturdy locking door; if we can find something suitable here, no problem.
