Suzie changed the clip on her assault rifle and switched to semi-automatic. With three single shots she dropped three separate soldiers - the loud booms and explosive craters suggesting a change in ammunition type.
"HESH rounds" she offered by way of explanation, return fire from the remaining two assailants raking the wall above their heads. She popped up a sensor from her headset over the top of their cover, its micro-eye scannning the immediate surroundings.
In a brief lull she surged again back to her feet, and fired again, twice. She received several large dents and scores in her own plating for her trouble, but there was no more incoming fire.
Dust began to settle. "High Explosive Squash Heads - designed to take out armoured personnel - they penetrate, then fragment."
"Sounds like they'd seriously hurt you too" KT asked
"Nah, I'm a full-body replacement job - chromed through and through. If they got through the brain pan or hit the nerve processors I'd be screwed but if anyone got shot in those locations, armour or no armour they'd be out of the fight."
