From the text:

Then to the lovely gray surface of the pearl came the little things
Kino wanted: a harpoon to take the place of one lost a year ago, a new
harpoon of iron with a ring in the end of the shaft; and- his mind
could hardly make the leap- a rifle- but why not, since he was so rich.
And Kino saw Kino in the pearl, Kino holding a Winchester carbine. It
was the wildest daydreaming and very pleasant. His lips moved
hesitantly over this- "A rifle," he said. "Perhaps a rifle."

The second half of your question calls for "your" opinion.
