Aliens Mocked Our Bullets Until They Saw What Armor Piercing Meant
from Short SciFi Stories on the go · host Kelli Korner
The alien commander laughed the moment he saw the human weapon, not a plasma cannon, not an energy rifle, just a small metal tube held in the hands of a human soldier. Their soldiers were protected by advanced combat armor, layered energy shields backed by hardened nanosuramic. His armor detonated outward as the armor piercing round blasted through every layer of protection. Human soldiers walked calmly through the battlefield afterward, collecting spent magazines and checking their weapons. But when humans say armor piercing, they mean the armor isn't supposed to matter.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/little-scifi-stories-on-the-go--7033804/support.
