>As far as I've found, the heaviest armored thing in the sourcebooks

Even the STANDARD Banshee (B/A: 6/6) is a MILITARY Vehicle. What the
frag do you want... when you go up against military targets, you found
a fast lane toward a large person in black robes...
>Is there a
>single weapon in the game that *doesn't* get reduced to 2's for
>the Banshee's resistance roll?
Relampago 120mm Railgun: 20D (Aztlan Sourcebook, p.179)
Vengeance MMG: 9S, Minigun,
Vanquisher HMG: 10S, Minigun,
Victory Rotary Cannon: 18D (12 rnds/complex action)
Vigilant Rotary Cannon: 20D ((12 rnds/complex action)
AAM, Rockets (all from RBB, with Sourcebook updates in SRII, p. 283)
Generic Assault Cannon: 18D,
also PAC: 18D
Is that enough? :-)

Hey, we *do* talk military, don't we?
>P.P.S. Regarding all of the munchkinism stuff going around... hey!
>It's a *game*. If everyone is having fun playing in the game, then
>it doesn't matter whether it's 'munchkinous' or not. Fun is the only

*applaud* *throw hat up* hurray, finally someone said!
