We were talking about the human arm there, but back to Stinger Snipe. This is a conclusion based on the visual clearly showing a linkage back to Chrono. Besides, the only alternative is wireless (read: broadcast) command systems. Your choice, Keroko.

While she was fighting Vivio and going on successively more damaging Blaster modes? Besides, the main part about AMF is that it supposedly breaks up the links between magic so it decays faster.

So, if Nanoha sends linked magic, it'll be bombarded every inch of its way towards the round and it is hard to believe much would be left by the end of it.

If Nanoha sends unlinked magic (if that is possible), then it has to be linked on site. Do you really want to credit that little scout round with self-linking capability.

Teana's was meant to withstand the damaging bombardment for a few seconds until it breaks through.

Nanoha COULD have used that to delay things somewhat. But come on, that was a tiny weeny scout round and it has been floating around for many minutes. It is hard to imagine that any barrier coated around it hasn't been completely eaten away.

If coatings are that good, AMF would be nearly ineffective, yet we can see it is not the case. Nanoha and Vita were having difficulty flying themselves, yet this silly little scout round acts as if the AMF wasn't there.

(Obviously, the author simply didn't think about all this, but that still leaves us having to come up with something...)
