    ===

    The M72 Gauss Rifle was a prototype design, created by West Germany in the year 2076 in response to the hypothetical of the Chinese Bloc developing power armored infantry. It functioned by using magnetic fields produced by a set of coils to accelerate a chunk of tungsten to incredible velocities without the use of chemical propellant. The recoil caused by this was such that the first guns would have broken the arms of anyone foolish enough to fire them without augmentation.​
    ​
    They never managed to hit a second round of prototyping before the Great War put an end to all possibilities for a long, long time.​
    ​
    The Enclave built variation of the M72, the M72A, had been partially modified from the original Bundeswehr specifications. They had removed the trigger guard, so it was possible for their power armored infantry to use them without taking off their gauntlets.​
    ​
    The slug fired traveled through the NCR tank without appreciably slowing, skimming through the front glacias plates at an angle that passed it through the front optics for the forward mounted MG, the MG's casement, the MG gunner's right arm, the driver's compartment, the driver's left leg, and then out again through the other wall, passing right between several of the gears and wheels on the track without damaging them, leaving a pair of smoking holes, a shattered hip bone and a removed forearm behind.​

    ===

    "-ook out!" You shouted as the entire tank rocked, hard. Drives Fast screamed. Dora looked at the stump of her arm, smoking and sputtering, and seemed more confused than anything. The Enclaver began to sprint towards you, moving terrifyingly quickly. His Gauss rifle was in one hand, looking almost childishly small in his grip.

    "Drives Fast! Drive! DRIVE!"

    She didn't answer, she was clutching her thigh, blood pumping through her palms. Mask was scrambling forward, reaching for her stick. Trudy was working the turret, trying to swing it around, but she was too slow.

    You were all too slow.

    You swung your pintle around - the machine gun somehow unharmed despite the artillery, despite the brawl, despite everything - and opened up, screaming at the top of your lungs. Bullets stitched their way along the ground, sparked off the Enclaver.

    Then he leaped - sailing higher than you thought possible - and landed on the edge of your tread. One bound up, another bound, and he stood above you, framed by the morning sun.

    Gauss rifle in one hand.

    Grenade in the other.

    HIs foot slammed down on the hatch, pinning it open with the weight of his armor as he popped the pin and safety handle with a practiced twitch of his thumb - the grenade glowing a bright green as he gripped it.

    What do you do?
    [ ] You have four kids in this tank. Grab onto the grenade and force it to explode with the two of you, outside of the tank (100% success rate, but you will die)
    [ ] Try and shake him off by kicking the controls (roll tank battle, everyone may die)

    It was an honor serving with you guys.

    I deeply understand the urge to be a big damn hero, but at the same time, I'm too concerned about what might happen after to just take a 100% chance of us dying. I'd rather roll the dice one last time.

    Oh, the plasma grenade would blow up in your and Cannibal Johnson's hand, doing 3 hits to both (killing you both.)

    Also, one other thing!

    When rolling to escape in tank battles, you roll with keen rather than hard, which you're much better at, if that helps with your continuing vote-decisions.
