The year is 2237, I sling my Browning over my shoulders the harness and my servos stabilizing my aim from the hip and distributing the weight while countering most recoil. My eagle sweeps high overhead marking targets for my HUD overlaid with my target computer. My finger hovers over the trigger holding back the wave of steel wrapped around tiny vessels of explosives and copper. I let rip a burst of fire into the concrete wall 1.5 miles to the East and watch the casaba rounds plasma penetrate the nearest targets position with ease.
You forgot to mention the B-52Q flying above (somewhere between the current models and the B-52X at the time of the Enterprise D decommissioning)
Wouldn’t be feasible if your average infantry man is able to target and blast through solid cover at 1.5 mi
Now imagine what dedicated anti-air tech this timeline that I’ve imagined would have
Nah, you’re thinking of the atmospheric models. Starting with the N line back in 2185 they were all SSTO-Capable and can accurately guide kkvs from past Luna.
What is this from? If this is your own original writing, you are an amazing artist!
Never knew about casaba rounds, thank you for the wiki article link!
Yeah original but I’m not good enough to actually write long form
Long form writing is like short form writing but more of it.
Unironically. There’s even a ton of writer’s tools out there for structure problems.

The Writing Excuses podcast has done a couple episodes on the topic.
Their website throws up 12.30 Tools For Writers as at least one of them, I’d listen to their commentary on their favorites and go from there.
the key to being a good machine gun is that you be cheap and lots of bullets come out of the end. this absolutely does that even if time has marched on
Thanks for the tip, i’m on my way to becoming the goodest machine gun
Once you’re complete you can come to my house and we’ll take out a lot of brownshirts, with you held in my arms.
welp. we’ve gotten to the point of fascism where we’re writing gay fan fic about killing nazis with our wifu guns. gotta say. kinda proud to see it
Do the bullets count if you’re shooting blanks?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Problem with too many bullets (RPM) out the other end is a) barrel wear, and b) excessive ammo consumption.
They might be old, but I fully agree they do the job.
- hence cheap
- doesn’t compute
Even in obsolescence, I serve
It may be heavy but it’s probably the most reliable machine gun ever built.
Can’t improve on perfection.
What is a holosun?
A small, cheapish aiming reticle.
