Re: The Chase
Relaxed and confident-sounding, Dawid relayed the information about the additional vehicles.
Seeing that nothing was going to happen for a moment, he went through his pack and grabbed some food and stuffed it in a bag, enough for a day's rations for the three of them. He stuck his head back inside the cab and made sure that if they bailed out of the truck, Adam would grab these meagre supplies as well.
That done, he looked at the gun and did some figuring based on Griet's suggestion.
"I think I could take some single potshots, even on the run. If we have to stop for whatever reason, then I could take time to improve my aim. There's nothing fundamentally different between this weapon and any other cannon, just because it's usually fired in large bursts, you can fire it singly."
"Now if we hit, well, it depends. Fragmentation rounds might not penetrate into the compartment, but if they are traveling they might be surprised, swerve off the road. We could get lucky, destroy the vision blocks and other optics, lights, their night vision."
He clarified that they could (and probably would be forced to) drop smoke on the run, as he agreed with Griet that stopping might allow for some quick shots. "So, if I say "SMOKE" then just drop a grenade over the side to confuse them. If I say "STOP" get ready to abandon ship. If I say "GET OUT", well, we're walking."
