BETA don't "want" the gun. They're attracted to electronics and I'd imagine the control unit for a weapon as powerful as that would be quite more attractive than even a TSF.
I enjoyed the episode in all honesty. Yui was bad ass in the opening section, "zenki! Tsuzuke!!" Ah... And I do smile at Yuuya and Yui's exchanges.

Well if i was yuuya i would do this:
. pick up weapon ( the gun is small and he does not need that thing that he puts behind the back when he fires the gun). . This does save time . get the fuck out of there by going in the opposite site of the invasion( if the main invasion comes from the left side, he would run to the right side). If necessary do that jump that hurts the girl. Note that he still has bullets and may call for help to the blonde chick. So she would fly around yuuya and both of them could shoot to the guys – smaller numbers than the other side where the main invasion is. If the railgun does not allow yuuya to shoot, he could simple drop the gun so the blonde chick would pick up and use it ( the normal gun, not the railgun). .but the main point is that a trained soldier would run as fast as possible. I would even understand if he let the weapon behind just to save the girl – it is against the rules but a smart action nevertheless Quote:
Question what you do next ? will you kill him or wait for a better time which means that you have to dodge all the time and lose focus. Otherwise is like he is going to face his own death and the alien faction is going to lose soldiers / resources for nothing . I know that the blonde chick is an elite soldier but I think that any soldier is able to do what she did. She simple has to point in that point and shoot; the mecha does all the rest. Even if she used more weapons, the normal mecha soldiers will achieve the same result with more time shouting in that spot – of course they would shoot and run until they killed him. edit: sniff, i miss the laser class |

>Gun is small, can be carried by a single TSF.
The gun is not small. Yuuya said that they would need both the Shiranui and the Strike Eagle to carry the weapon. If I remember correctly, it was because of the fuel economy. Yui rejected that plan because she prioritized their chances of survival. >Opposite side of invasion And what if the opposite side is the ocean? They need to go to where everyone was evacuated, not just a deserted place with no BETA. A big reason why Yui rejected carrying the weapon around was because of this, they might have to fight to escape. |

Consider the last stand of Shugart and Gordan. By all rights they should have abandoned Durant's crew, but they went in anyway. Quote:
There are two main schools of thought regarding how to kill someone: ammunition type and shot placement. The former assumes you have the right ammo for the job, you can kill something; the latter assumes you need to hit the target in the right place to kill it. The Modern Technique, as codified by Col. Jeff Cooper, states that both elements are necessary: a large round will do nothing if it does not hit anything vital, and a round that is on target is not effective if it is too small and requires multiple follow-on shots. (A prime example of this is the Mozambique Drill paired with a .45 ACP pistol, preferably an M1911 of some sort: two rounds upper torso, one round to the head. Excellent demonstration by Jim Zubiena here.) What that means is that because the Fort-class is a large target, you can't just shoot everywhere and expect it to be a fatal hit: the general rule of thumb is that the larger the body that is being shot, the more it is able to survive the trauma of a bullet wound, as the kinetic impact is spread out over the body, and a larger body will carry more blood than a smaller body. Note the larger caliber of rifle cartridges used in hunting rifles, compared to assault rifles or pistols/submachine guns. Notice where Stella's shots land: she fires six 120mm rounds at the head and shoulder, where major arteries are located, and the body of the Fort is large enough that that the rounds haven't fully exited by the time they detonate.

Also, I'd just suggest that if you're quoting, particularly quoting multiple people, to use the quote post function; this will allow whoever you're responding to to zoom in more quickly on your replies, and not try to figure out who you're responding to. Quote:

Also, ammo's getting low - they can't afford to burn all their ammo here and not have any ammo incase they get jumped on their way to the rally point. Note how both of them are trying their best to be careful with their ammo, until Yuuya is left behind. As for those who were complaining about Stella blowing up the fuel tank farm, I'll just note that while that place is storing all the fuel, it is not a gas station, and Stella and Yuuya would need to find a proper refuelling truck to refuel. And that's if they know how to refuel a TSF - they aren't ground crew. Edit: Gah, ninjaed by zRichard. This is what I get for using Backlog Breaker.

I probably sound harsh, but there was plenty of time for Stella to take aim at the Fort, since it walked in from the outside of the base rather than appear suddenly via underground or something. It just seems like bad writing for her to not engage such an imminent threat, with its slow movement pace PLUS long travel distance.
Its not like she was shown to be doing a good job at clearing the closest targets to Yuuya either, considering that he lost an arm to a "surprise" beta attack. Yuuya and Yui taking their time didn't help either, but still. |

the animation production for this show still holds it back tremendously, but at least it's finally starting to heat up a little with this latest arc. I think we'll probably be seeing the last use of the rail gun at some point next episode because I don't see any other way Yuuya can get out of this mess.

My guess is that Latrova and Zhar arrive with the better part of twenty Su-27s and two Su-37s and bail his ass outta the fire.
