Linda- Targeting Carbines

  Linda opened fire on the rifleman farthest from her, targeting not his head but the carbine itself. The weapon blew apart in his hands, taking one appendage with it. She did not bother to finish him. He was no longer a threat, and there were plenty of aliens who were.

  She moved on to the next rifleman and fired again. This time the carbine broke in two, the butt slamming into the Elite’s helmet so hard it sent him sliding down the slope headfirst. She risked two more attacks, taking out another carbine and a warrior when he lifted his helmet at the last instant, then crawled back from the edge to change the SRS99’s four-round magazine—and to check for any hostiles creeping into position behind her.
