ARGH! Rob, why do you keep coming up with things I wish I could include but after research I probably have to turn down?
OK, in this case my problem is the ammo itself. From what I've read, the propellant will run out after at most an eighth of a second. While I could possibly see the rounds manoeuvring in the 70 metres or so that gives them in a straight line, a) I doubt they can manoeuvre radically enough to be effective, and b) all that manoeuvring would slow them down enough to be more easily dodged than normal bullets for beings with A.C.'s reaction times.
They aren't UF Thunderbolts with Ion sustainer engines, after all. (For those wondering, that's a no to 12-guage photon torpedoes appearing.)
I'm willing to be convinced on the gyrojets however.
One more thing, I had the current scene (28) written for a couple of months, well before the reaction shots for scene 26.
