    As a father, I wholeheartedly agree that missing a child's birthday party (especially a daughter's birthday party) is more than enough to warrant the Emperor's death. In fact, he might have went a little too easy on the bastard!

    It is always a good idea to learn about another species before you believe you're going to easily kick their butts. Because when you go against a species that's known war for thousands of years, you are going to find a surprise waiting for you.

    I think the head would be gone just from the momentum of the round. .50 caliber rounds are pretty nasty and the explosive charge wouldn't leave much of what was left after the round hit. Otherwise, the story is fine.

    In WW1, it would have been extremely unlikely for a single battle on the Western Front to lose the war. However, a single naval battle could lose the war in a day. In a sense, naval battles are a type of single combat. The American Empire is a naval/airpower that can defall to hubris easier than we think.

    I'm late to the party I really apreciate this story. Parents want to see their kids grow up. Folks. The sniper's name is Caroline. Piss off a father and you deserve what you get. Piss off a mother (that happens to have a particular set of skills!?)... I was just standing over here ma'am. I'm happy to help but I have no idea what he was thinking.

    I thought it would be a 20 mm. Anyway, shaped charges are not molten, but a yielding solid. They detonate before hitting the target, or on contact, because full impact will disrupt them. Their damage mechanism is an extending jet of solid metal (copper, or molybdenum if you are being fancy) , the tip of which travels at as much as 8 km/s. They also have to be traveling relatively slowly to function, and any spin has to be compensated at the cost of effectiveness. You would not make a fifty caliber one. Instead, you would likely have a smooth bore fin stabilized sabot round with a DU penetrator and maybe an explosive load (probably overkill). You might also go for a guided round.

    Maybe the weapon to them is so primitive that it would be like a modern equipped soldier going up aginst a person with steel ball bearings and a high powered hunting slingshot. You would be amazed at what kind of damage a high power slingshot and steel ball bearings can do in the hands of a expert. You can kill a man, no problem, with a high powersling shot and the right circumstances.

Such as with our "loss" in Vietnam. That wasn't a military thing, it was a political thing. The people wouldn't/couldn't endorse the war anymore so politicians withdrew.
