Barricade merely smirks as Holi suspiciously looks over the gun. "Bit of a bigger sting than that popgun they gave you," he offers smugly. Up to the kid to believe it or not.
"Not like you, Eye-Fire," Barricade replies, turning back toward the gun-former. "All of ours use guns, not become them. But, yeah. Yeah, we do."

"What makes you think I know any?" Holi wonders, cynical and innocent in the same (proverbial) breath. No snipers come to mind, at any rate. The Autobots and Decepticons of Holi's time tend to favour a more up close and personal method of combat. Who knows why the Decepticons go for it; maybe they think it's more honourable. Some garbage like that. Holi knows why the Autobots like it, of course. They like being right there for the suffering they cause.
He says nothing whatsoever to Barricade. He still doesn't exactly trust this unexpected little gift, but he tucks it away nonetheless. He'll either test it later and find out it's booby-trapped or he'll just quietly ditch it.

"Oh, you just seem to be the kind of person that when spotted by a sniper, they want to make your acquaintance." After they've shot something off, He adds mentally adds for himself.
"Has your reality got Gunformers Barricade?" Eye-Fire asks, interested in how prevalent they are between realities.

Ditch it if you want, sprite. No plating off Barricade's non-existent nose if you want to stick with that little pea shooter the Autobots allow you instead of switching up to some decent destruction in that gun Barricade scrounged up in what appeared to have been some R&D lab gone ground zero.
Honestly, why go to the effort of booby-trapping it now when you still don't trust him? Easier to just smoosh you all up front-like, if that's what he'd wanted, and a lot better to earn your trust and then booby-trap something to get that fine wine of betrayal that Barricade craves so much.
If that's what he is aiming for, that is. No telling with Barricade. The only one who might reliably know what the infiltrator is really thinking would be Frenzy, and he's not likely to share and spoil the fun, either.
"No," Barricade replies to Eye-Fire, shaking his head. "None that I've ever heard of. Everyone I know of prefers to be self-sufficient."

Maybe Holi's just odd, but he'd have to disappoint the friendly advances of these social snipers Eye-fire seems to know.
"Do tell," is all he says, faking the curiosity. What he's really wondering about is why the wacko hasn't asked about the gun being passed off. Or maybe these Decepticons just regularly hand weapons to each other and in Eye-fire's addled head, that extends to their Autobrand-wearing allies.
Well, whatever. Holi should probably be moving along soonish; he hasn't quite seen everything he wants to see and it seems things might start winding down. He could stand to wait a little longer, though; not long enough for Eye-fire to possibly wig out and try grabbing him again, but long enough to see how the gun-former reacts.
