Amusing that you seem to believe that every line in a "fine" book works, even if taken out of context.
To me, writing a woman this way would be like writing an autobiography that goes like- "I awaken in the glorious morning, my balls sitting balsililly betwixt my muscled thighs. I rise from my bed, my walnuts slipping nuttily off the mattress to swing like sweet, ripe cherries shining in a sunny meadow. I grow hungry, and bounce testicacularily down the stairs." I never thought I'd try so hard to describe the motion of male reproductive organs...
Gravity and the passing of time sees the balls acquire a fresh, new relationship with the kneecaps. Man in gown assumes the airs of a South American footballer, balls swing counter step, the game we love, we call it 'keepy-upy,' or a more delicate version, the rules adapted for indoor pursuit, and on...
God damn. Look at that big beautiful sumptuous scope I mean seriously that bloody thing looks way too big to be practical. At least it looks like she's wearing boots so she won't be hampered by heels when she goes to relocate for her second shot.
The Barret M82 Anti-Material rifle has a recoiless barrel and a muzzle break to prevent as much kick. It is like the portable version of a tank/artillery gun. Also the bi-pod has spikes to dig into the surface. The old WWII anti-tank guns kicked like a mule literally. A 20mm shell is gonna hurt like a SOB.
In any case, you ain't walkin' away if you get shot by that. o___o If I were an enemy soldier and I saw her point that at me, I'd instantly drop my guns and surrender.
she'd be about a mile away link ... that's one of those ... 'don't run from a sniper you'll just die tired' moments
This shit is hilarious. Although quite disapointing, but hilarious. I've seen many situations like this this. Just men over-sexualizing women in stories, to furfill their needs. Amazing.
@Link the Writer it would be messy. http://www.military.com/video/operations-and-strategy/afghanistan-conflict/sniper-hits-insurgent-with-50-cal/1101187478001
Wait wait wait. So she has an anti tank weapon against her shoulder? That's badass! Also thanks for the information.
Nah, it's not really an anti-tank weapon. The rule of thumb is that a bullet can penetrate its diameter in armor, so a .50 cal rifle will only (!) shoot through half an inch of steel, and you have to remember that sloped armor is graded on the angle that the bullet hits it at. A T-72 (semi-obsolete Russian tank) has between three and eleven inches of armor. The reason the old 20mm anti-tank rifles were anti-tank was they were being fielded against ancient WWI and interwar tanks that were only designed to protect against small arms. On the other hand, the USMC LAV-25 (and Army Stryker) are, in their base models, only designed to stop 7.62 ammo (.30 cal) and below, so she'd be able to shoot nice holes in one of those, and I think that BTRs and BRDMs are roughly equivalent.
Only if she were firing solid tungsten rounds with in a much closer range. Depleted uranium rounds are in the 20mm and up range. In WWI- they used tungsten tank shells to kill other tanks at medium close ranges. The way you defeat armor is with speed+weight. The faster you sling a heavier solid round, the more effective it is. For a ground trooper they would probably rely on a LAW (light anti-armor weapon) missile, or a Dragon missile that are shoulder fired. It would not be beneficial to weigh one person down with a bunch of really heavy bullets, when a guy could carry 1-3 LAWs pretty easily as they are fairly compact with disposable firing tubes. But you would want one of these over a .50 when engaging a Tank.
Didn't BDRM's also feature fuel tanks built into the rear doors (fantastic design choice), an AP round in there should lead to the vehicle brewing up nicely.
LAWs are fairly useless against tanks, even in the improved ILAW... Nato research showed it could take up to 12 law hits to stop even a T72, let alone a newer tank. They are excellent against thin skinned vehicles , against bunker and trenches, and in fighting in built up areas though.
