    True, but the staff-cannon-things don’t seem like a great alternative, given that they’re usually fired from breast-hip height and seem to lack optics. And even if they did have optics, you’d think gliders and especially Al’kesh would already have engaged you.

    Staff weapons against gliders, sure, but that just touches more on the cinema-cool element, where advanced aerospace-fighters are taken down by weapons that shouldn’t hold a candle to that sort of platform. Another example is Shepard shooting down a wraith dart with an M249 (which he was carrying for whatever reason).

    Stingers and AT-4’s I can understand, but I feel like more realistically they’d be on the far edge of what could defend against gliders and darts.

    I want to add one time I was at the store and an old woman had bought a lot of food and the girl in the counter asked her “can your really carry all this home?” The old woman said “If the brain is stupid, the body suffers” and tried to carry it by herself. I insisted that I could help her carry, it and she allowed me to carry her stuff until we were within a block of where she lived. Proudently catuious as she was, she wanted to finish the last leg on her own. But she did give me three candys for it. She told me in what order to eat them too lol.

    Gotta love old ladies
