Six AFAIK. Ditto Fate's revolver-like cartridge module.
That much is certain: in the Quattro scene, RH ejects five spent catridges. Enforcers are not part of the TSAB armed forces, hence, they don't have military ranks. They are more like FBI special agents, I think. In military terms, they roughly equal Captains, since that's the rank Fate received when she transferred to RF6.

Does the Bureau have any BVR options, drones (recon, combat or otherwise), indirect-fire artillery? Do we know anything about their vacuum naval doctrine and equipment? Point-def systems, anti-ship systems, the works?

Drones are probably illegal, considering their stance on the Gadget Drones. Mages seems to rely on Area Search spell for recon. Aside from Hayate, there's been no other example of indirect-fire artillery. The only ship known to possess Point-Defenses was the Saint's Cradle. The Wolfram seems to possess a magical (because the Hucks neutralized it completely) anti-ship cannon, the Augusto. It was claimed to be long-ranged, but considering the actual range it was used in Force I doubt it. The closest thing to a doctrine that I can conclude is that a ship is usually manned by an Enforcer (hero unit) and several Marine teams (cannon fodders) for infantry operations, mobilized by the ship's teleportation unit and backed by its C4ISTAR (bridge bunnies)

And I always thought Fate's rank in StrikerS was more of a courtesy rank, especially since she was a unit commander? |

EDIT: So various places on the internet say that he was an Enforcer, though I cannot for the life of me recall this at all. And we only ever saw him in the blue and white of the Air Force (or its flight instructors?). Brb, gonna try to find this episode again. EDIT #2: "And then, the dream he left behind...the dream that her brother died without being able to accomplish... She said she'd accomplish the dream of becoming an Enforcer." (StrikerS, episode 8) Yeah, no. Definitely not an Enforcer. Last edited by TheRainbowConnection; 2011-02-13 at 14:45. |

Well equal or not, if he moves from one ranking position to another ranking position (army to fbi sorta) then the rank might be from the army while enforcer is a catch all (say fbi's use of agent)
so not equal, but of some note ninja'd... yeah he wasn't an enforcer huh

PS. Actually as in manga it's clear that some positions are in fact more important than rank. Such as ones Aces hold - Hayate: "Special Investigation Officer (also Captain)" - who cares that she is captain? All cares that she have rights to investigate your ass. Enforcer Fate T.Harlaown - who cares if she is 2nd Lt or Captain when she also have all rights to investigate your sorry ass... And Instructor Takamachi Nanoha, one that can review your unit readiness in way that can call for said investigation... who cares if she is 2nd Lt or Captain?

I'm really sorry to ask this again but is there anyone that can truly confirm that one of Nanoha's magazines only contains six cartridges? Has anyone seen her load any other cartridges prior to her big payload she unleashed vs Quattro in the Cradle? I'm looking through firearms websites and the average assault rifle magazine size is 30 rounds.
