Five Rounds Rapid: Difference between revisions

*** Vulcans ''are'' extremely useful as anti-personnel weapons (Amuro used them that way a couple of times). Of course, they are rarely used that way since showing the hero pulping enemy soldiers with vulcans would look ''really'' bad, and might raise the show's rating too high (though ''Stargazer'' does show Alliance mobile suits using foot-mounted CIWS for exactly this, complete with graphic detail).

** A good example comes from the second episode of the original series. Char sees the new Gundam mobile suit destroy some Zaku's and sorties in his own machine to take it out. He effortlessly dodges its attacks and hits it with a burst of machine gun fire. From his facial expression, he was obviously expecting that salvo to take it down; he looks very surprised when the Gundam isn't even scratched. To his credit, he switches tactics from this point on, trying to take out the Gundam with physical attacks from his superheated battleaxe (which ''can'' get through the Gundam's armor), only using the guns to distract and intimidate Amuro.

* In [[One Piece]], Marines consistently fire their round musket-ball like projectiles at Luffy, even though it is proven time and again that it doesn't work.

** In fact, Luffy often turns their bullets back on them, using the {{spoiler|elasticity of his body to rebound the bullets toward their origin}}.
