Re: What Goes Up...
In reply to Jane Guin (msg # 133):
The Raptor, zeroing-in on the source of the annoyance, swung both guns towards Jane and Peter's hiding place. The twin 7.62mm miniguns roared, spat fire and 7.62mm rounds began zipping all around them.
Fortunately, the technical itself was parked behind a Jeep. The intervening vehicle absorbed most of the incoming bullets. Tires were blown out with a bang, the windshield shattered, mirrors blown off and the thin sheet metal of the Jeep's sides were punctured in several places. The miniguns firing sounded like God's chainsaws: "BRRRRRAAAAAAWWWW" Spent casings vomited out the bottom of the weapons, twinkling in the light streaming out of the landing bay.
The Jeep looked like Swiss Cheese. Even the technical tooks several hits from the sheer number of rounds being pumped into the bay, but they mainly pinged off the armour or caused little damage.
Sensing no more resistance from inside, the Raptor then did something unexpected. It swung around and proceeded to begin backing into the hangar. This made sense as the exit ramp for the carried personnel/automatons was in the rear, but it also meant that it could no longer fire into the bay as the miniguns could not be brought to bear directly to the rear.
OOC: My mistake, the Raptor is armed with twin 7.62mm "Gatling" miniguns, not 20mms. They pack way less punch but have an insane ROF.
