Okay, here's what you do for this game: You have to "ban" the person who posted above you for an outrageous, silly, or funny reason. Got it?
Banned because while snipers certainly are skilled, I was referring to "wussy" in the sense of sheer brute strength.
One other problem I see with the rotary railgun is that once you've got the ball moving fast enough to punch through a tank, you have to make it go around a 90 degree bend to get into the shoulder tube. Plus, at the end she has to carry the thing and fire it from inside an exosuit, and I have no idea how or where it would fit.
banned for trying to go for realism where just blowing shit up might fit.
Banned because women are often put in the role of sniper in fiction because: 1) there is a misconception that all women are automatically better suited to marksmanship than men, and 2) people seem to dislike the idea of having female "grunts." Maybe people think the tasks of your average infantryman isn't elegant enough, or is too dangerous.
Aww, you picked the wrong movie...
banned for duct tape + Sigourney Weaver = WIN!
Other women in grunt spots:
Starship Troopers
G. I. Jane
Renaissance Man
Courage Under Fire
G. I. Joe
Banned because you're preaching to the choir. I don't care what chromosomes my legions of terror have, so long as they blow up what I tell them to blow up.
Banned because of Starship Troopers.
Read this. It's amusing as hell.

banned for making me think of the awful movie
The book was a trillion times better. I know books have a tendency to be better but in this case the book clearly out shined that horrible debacle.
banned for it was not only a trillion times better, but it was nothing like the movie. The tactics were vastly different, not to mention better and all... and the social commentary was clearer. I mean, the movie just made us seem like a facist nation with no intelligent direction. Yay?
And that article is kinda funny. Not a perfect 1:1, but not altogether inaccurate. Nice dig up.
Banned because fascist nations usually have a very... active intelligence branch.
Banned because I am an intelligent. Does this make me a fascist nation?
Banned alone for the visual has me laughing my ass off....
Banned because I've finally struck bedrock in Minecraft.
Something's off with the pics, so they'll be delayed for the moment.
