****** Only by that logic they would need to reclassify Teana grappler gun and Subaru first scates. I can't see difference.

******* The Strike Cannon uses magic ''as a power source'', it is not used to cast spells. Teana's Anchor Gun, and Subaru's skates are used to cast spells.

******* I don't see a problem: since Devices are very much like PCs, amateur-made ones like Teana and Subaru's are basically comparable to early personal computers of [[The Nineties]] running MS-DOS. Intelligent Devices are something like the latest model MacBook in terms of performance and comfort. And Strike Cannon is like a [[Play Station 3]]: a portable supercomputer but only specialized for one task. That's the difference. Therefore, I don't think Nanoha will be using both Strike Cannon and Raising Heart simultaneously like Subaru did with her Devices: either one after the other, or by merging them in the [[Mecha Expansion Pack]] kind of way.

******** Only, you know... It's was Subaru that did exactly that - Revolver Knuckle(s) are interfaced through Mach Caliber, so de facto she uses one device and not two. And in article simultaneous use of RH and Strike Canon was explicitly stated - RH have new form for it, to act as support flying turret...

********* Yes, Subaru did, but Revolver Knuckle is an Armed Device (okay, a half of an Armed Device, but still), i.e. it is capable of independent operation, as well. Strike Cannon, on the other hand, probably just shoots things and blows them up, i.e. its complexity is much smaller. We have to wait for details, but I would imagine that Strike Cannon doesn't actually need to be synchronized with a particular mage, and anyone sufficiently powerful (read: Fate and Hayate), not just Nanoha would be able to glue it to their Devices with little trouble. Nanoha is just everyone's favorite guinea pig for testing new weaponry.

[[Inception|You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.]] I was playing ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' the other day, using the Engineer, and a lines from his "Meet the Team" video came to me: "And if that don't work? Use more gun." That reminded me of this ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' fic, [[And If That Don't Work]], where the "more gun" is [[Useful Notes/From Russia With Nukes|From Russia With Nukes]]. That also made me think of ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'', where the [[Anti-Magic]] of Blanks can be [[No Sell|No Selled]] by sufficiently strong daemons or psykers.

Where am I going with this? Diabolic Emission. Ragnarok. Blaster Mode Exceed Max Starlight Breaker. [[Fantastic Nuke|Arc-en-Ciel.]] [[Up to Eleven|Multiple Arc-en-Ciels.]] Of course, unless the Huckies somehow cause the crossing of the [[Godzilla Threshold]], we might not see the Fantastic [[Nuclear Option]] in play.
