Lola: Kevin...you're a prat. I asked the boys for a recoilless rifle...with auto-aim fast enough to catch a Genocide Man. See how well people respond when you show some leadership?
Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky.

That…is definitely not a recoilless rifle. A recoilless rifle shoots material (either gun gas or some less energetic countermass) backward to counteract the recoil of the projectile.
They’re also usually a lot bigger than that.
Ulzgoroth: This is the future. If they can alter genetics, I’m sure they can improve other sciences beyond our capabilities.
Oh, and only 1 rifle?
They probably knew who it would be used on.
Who wouldn’t want to shoot their boss? Especially when it’s Kevin.
Now, can she turn it around fast enough to get Caera when she comes in behind her?
And yes, Kevin, you are a prat, going around nuking people and killing the staff
Proper choke make a gun practically recoilless.
For instance, the British Empire’s foundation, the Bren gun, actually
pulled you forward a bit…It’s for other reasons on a shotgun, but the lack of recoil made the Bren very precise, groupings being very close.

(You always carried a spare barrel with the Bren.)
I giggled pretty hard when she said “you’re a prat.” it fit so well!
I asked the artist for a futuristic recoilless rifle, and I like what he delivered. I picture that bulky forestock as some kind of active damping system.
…One day, you’re going to have to explain why she hired all these yahoos in the first place.
But, still, pretty cool, man. Pretty cool.
Well, I learned a new British insult today.
According to the K.I.S.S. principle(Keep It Simple Stupid),
all you need to dampen recoil is a muzzle restriction(choke) like
on the sniper rifle Barrett 50 cal,which can be shot by women.
The Finnish Lahti 20mm anti tank rifle, on the other hand, no choke,
it would kick a grown man back two feet and break the shoulder
of a lesser one, but it would blow up
a Soviet-American BT2 Christie tank.
That looks to me like some sort of energy weapon. Presumably a laser, but it could be something else.
FINALLY Some Blood!. Die Kevin you fat Prat… what does prat mean by the way?
Is the Lady Justice in the b.g. ment as commentary?
@Madorakas
It’s basically another word for idiot.

Thanks for info 🙂
Kevin always came out as an effete toupeed epicurian…such a battle
wounds should do wonders to reset his priorities.
It’ll give him a new one at the very least Ming – he’ll have to get a new suit
And so Lola reveals the wolf in Lamb’s clothing!
Let’s all hope Caera was still watching at this point. I say “was,” because now would be a good time to start running!
