--- Quote from: Border Reiver on 20 Feb 2012, 04:50 ---The M72 I understand against the mecha (hopefully she waits til Pintsize is about 50m away before she shoots, because they're about as accurate as a groundhog weatherman), but a P90? Thing uses pistol ammo! There is a reason soldiers carry rifles....

My limited training with M72 consisted of a few rules of thumb about taking the distance and the speed of the target into account, and the advice: "This is a single shot. If you fire this against an enemy tank and miss, your life expectancy is in seconds. You just told them where you are, and they have been trained to anticipate your escape route, so shrapnels will seal your fate, if they don't kill you on the spot." So an M72 is a single shot in several ways. But also any idiot like me can be trained to use it in five minutes, it doesn't weigh much et cetera.

5 Minutes?!? There are pictures showing how to use it printed on the tube....
But the rest of it is accurate - this is why I am a gunner. I don't have to be right there to contribute to the destruction....

Faye and Dora are keeping the P1000 tied down and occupied while Hanners and her dad alter the settings on the Laser Cannon to 'Maximum Overkill', Marigolds running the target sensors and Marten, Lt. Potter and the Major hold the line against the Service Bots who have disabled Spaceship and Station because they're hardwired loyal to Hanners. :-D

And when all this fails, Angus drives up on a Harley with a mysterious package under his arm. He holds a hand down to Faye, and helps her up to it behidn him, and says "Come on babe. We got a world to save."

"Who's bike is this?"
"Zed's."
"Zed's?"
"Zed's Dead baby."

[Your horrific joke scenarios should be *just* this side of plausibility!]

If we apply the logic of Kaiju and Super Sentai, the town/city is usually all re-built up and just completely fine upon the next episode/movie. And everybody speaks no word of said previous destruction.

I can't find it at the moment, but there's a fic on the SCP site that tells of how the world has been obliterated several times, and rebuilt to exactly where it was before the destruction happened by the Foundation. It was kind of a creepy story.
