IC: New Weapons Systems

[sythyry]

I am in need of new weaponry and defenses for Strayway! There are many choices. I come to you, O monsters, for stylistic and tactical advice. (I do not consider myself honor-bound to take the advice, but if it's sensible and not too inconvenient, I probably will.)

Since this is a free-form poll, limited mainly by the imagination, I will run a second-round poll for voting on some of my favorite and more plausible answers.

Well, I am quite certain we couldn't get one to the Tree, of course. And besides, it'd be useless, because you need a large amount of support material and infrastructure and experienced people to keep a pilot flying an A-10. It was just an example that says, 'Intimidation is worth something'.

Also, assuming that someone was wearing armor that couldn't be gotten through with ammunition. Even a normal spray of 5.56 bullets should still knock them and cause massive bruises, and EVERY armor has vulnerable spots! Bigger ammunition would just be better at it! You don't always have to penetrate physical armor that someone is wearing to kill them! You just need to bang them around enough to cause lots of shock to their system. Of course I am sure there is some terrifying magical items on the tree that basically makes folk "Impervious to physical damage", but even that has counters, you don't always need to INJURE someone to incapacitate them and make them incapable of doing their job...
