An assualt canon is a waste of time unless your sniper is targeting a
troll or dragon, or something in between those sizes. My choice is the
H&K or the browning .50 snipers ... there's plenty of choices in ammo for
puttin the touch on somebody. I mean even when push comes to shove what
kind of hang over do you think the dragon will have 2 seconds after being
marked by an isotopic paint round leading a pheonix or tomahawk?
Some where in South America ...
... Air One. I have target acquisition. What is the bird's status?
Finger, this is Air One. The bird is awake. Over.
Air One, paint can is open (sniper removes isotopic paint round from lead
pig and chambers the round).
Finger, the bird is hungry. We confirm trace. Over.
Copy Air One. Ready.
Finger, this is Air One. The bird has flown the nest. ETA 5 sec. 5...4
...3...2
(BANG!) Air One Target is marked. Have a good day.
