A sigh is heard from the other end of the phone receiver.

After some silence, the frog-faced doctor answers,

["There are about 10 of the Sisters undergoing adjustments. Do you think that the weapons used in the [Experiment], the Metal Eater MX anti-tank rifles and F2000R [Toy Soldier], will be suitable for them afterward?"]

Accelerator thinks for a bit,

And then shakes his head.

"With that extent they'll be eaten up completely. In the first place, the clones in their present state have no battle strength. It's flawless but probably futile. Can you evacuate all the staff and patients in your hospital?"

So in other words, the sisters are inferior to Hound Dogs as an organization,

Why not? Everybody's been saying how useless Mikoto would be against the stronger magicians, well in this case we have concrete proof that the clones are also useless against stronger magicians.

The Magic side isn't going to attack them with an army of Stiyls you know.

In the remnant arc, the only sister shown was 10032 and she was smart enough not to chase Awaki when even Mikoto had trouble landing a hit on her. Instead, she went to the first person she knew could counter Awaki's power = Kamijou Touma.

In other words circumstances prevented them from being useful, not all that different from Mikoto.

And Mikoto stopped a Nuclear disaster, but nobody seem to think it's important either.

Try sniping Touma at a couple of hundred metres and he'll probably go down like a rock. Heck, try sniping at Mikoto and she'll probably go down if she doesn't react fast enough.

If you want to talk about Hypothetical strength I can have Mikoto create a wall of iron sand 24/7, or a district wide electromagnetic jammer to mess with the Network like how it screwed with the Russian Imouto.

And you're doing the opposite, you're using the best case scenario to support your argument.
