"Right," Indy replied, "pick a godforsaken corner of the world where you don't stick out like a sore thumb. Should've clarified that." Marcus could've benefited from that advice.
He acknowledged Pierson's point about the ammunition, but he wasn't too concerned with it. Indy was operating on the admittedly sketchy assumption that that guy's gun and ammunition had come from the Institute somehow--guard, hidden weapons stockpile, anything--and that if there was one, there were more.
"If they've got guns here, they've got ammunition. The only question is whether I can get in. Even if I can't, a gun with any ammo at all would help--assuming it's worth whatever it takes to get one."
Indy stood and crossed the room as usual to get ready for the night. He was still monologuing, though as much to himself as to Pierson. "I'm hoping I won't have to do a lot of shooting, anyway. A solid whip crack will scare off most of the wild animals I've met, and I can probably handle most humans if I'm not too badly outnumbered or they're not too heavily armed. A gun would do me the most good with guards, and if they're armed, that'll solve my firepower problem."
The question was whether the whip would crack, not to mention whether anyone else he was likely to meet out there was likely to outnumber or outgun him. He'd just have to improvise.
