Glad to see you at it again .

Dawn has not approached the Middle Kingdom yet, but the roads have already been clogged by morning’s early traffic. “And they say the pollution is decreasing...” Captain Gavriil Dzerzhinsky thought as he sat in a black sedan, hidden amongst the numerous other vehicles in the slow and bogged down roads of Beijing as he puffed on a cigarette, a foul obscure Chinese brand that tasted like a mix of cow dung and cheap tobacco. A secure 1024-bit randomly generated encryption satellite phone, bought readily from the Internet sat in the glove compartment, along with two 9x39mm 10 round magazine. He sighed, releasing a puff of tobacco smoke into the cool crisp morning air, waiting, but he didn’t wait for too long before his target appeared.
One may not have expected the black Mercedes that just turned into the Captain’s rear view mirror to be anything out of the ordinary in China’s capital, just another one of many other uparmoured, bulletproof black limos that ferried the nation’s diplomats and other high rank officials across the city, if only one would disregard the fact that the limo showed a out of state licence plate, it was from a Qinghe, which also happens to be where the headquarters of PLA’s Second Artillery Corps. The fact seemed to be unappreciated by cars and trucks that surrounded the black limo, oblivious to the fact the mere name of the passenger inside that car was one that was about to change history.
Half a kilometer away, the 3-ton truck that had rumbled quietly, milling around the same street corner for the better part of the hour had rolled onto the pavement, to the protest of people on the road. Gavriil, situated behind the black limo and the cargo truck was not new to what was about to take place, they had run the simulation a dozen times back at the Spetnaz training camp. It was surreal, watching the black limo slowly crawl its way in front of car, inching towards destiny. Gavriil puffed on his cigarette some more before throwing it out the window. The driver of the armoured Mercedes was almost within 200 meters before it saw the man holding a RPO Shmel rocket launcher before he tried to reverse out of harm’s way, only to crash into the front of a blue truck when the signature grey puff of smoke appeared from the back of the truck-
-The unfortunate driver never saw the rocket launch, nor the missile that entered diagonally into the cargo container before exploding-
“Durak…” Gavriil cursed the men on the truck, how could they have missed at such a short range was beyond him, watched as the blue truck’s top and sides burst open like a blooming flower as the vehicle itself was propelled meters skywards like a champagne cork before landing with a thud, the charred hulk still burning, but not before another car was hit by another incendiary rocket, flipping it onto a third car. Nobody even noticed when the unmarked truck carrying the assailants drove off.
The black limo, its dark shape now silhouetted by the rising sun and surrounding flames was struck in the middle of the road, its front jammed by the panicking mass of humanity which has collectively left its cars and made a dash away from the scene and the rear blocked by the now abandoned cars. “Perfect.” Gavriil thought to himself as he left his own car, a suitcase in one hand and his satellite phone on the other as he ran to get a better vantage point, with trained precision and proficiency, the suitcase was opened, the three gun parts assembled, checked and the loaded and he just had enough time to zero in his sights when the driver’s door of the armoured car opened, the driver, which usually doubled as a bodyguard has his sidearm out, before stupidly opening the passenger door, allowing Gavriil a perfect opportunity to eliminate the both of them, but what is the point of killing a pawn when the next move would kill the King?
The subsonic round fired by the old, albeit effective VSS Vintorez was not heard by the bodyguard, who was still disorientated and blinded by the glowing fires around him trying his best to escort his target to a safe place until help arrived, although the resounding ping when the heavy round pierced the target’s heart, into the upholstery and into the armour plating made him turn around and drop his gun in shock.
It took several seconds for the secure phone line to connect to General Orlov, “Checkmate.”
“Good work, you are to return back to the Board immediately.” The General growled before hanging up the phone.
It was already well into the morning when the dispatch finally arrived at PLA General Staff Headquarters, the act of sending a simple note bogged down by red tape and bureaucracy, the evident slow and ineffectiveness showing as the emergency dispatch only contained one simple sentence: “General Tao, Commander of SAC assassinated, INVASION IMMENENT.”

Well-written and thought out once again mate.

I just recieved a scan from the a secure source, we're posting it now. It seems like the GLA are planning to strike somewhere. But we're not sure what.

Whether you manage to solve this or not will affect the outcome of the future, you have 36 hours. Starting now.

Well, sorry. But I recently got arrested for some stupid crap and really wasn't in the mood for updating it much. (Not saying I am now, but I'll throw in what I have.)

Throughout the course of warfare, the impacts from the decisions of men are often dwarfed by other factors, which can be summarily called Luck and Timing. The birth of the United States of America might as well stopped if it wasn't for a fortunate storm and a subsequent thick fog which covered Washington's Army during their retreat from Manhattan, the storm's decrease in strength during D-Day of World War II, the legendary 5 minutes in which American planes have the Japanese Carrier Fleet unprepared at Midway - all of which could have had very different results if it wasn't for a large amount of luck and fortunate timing on one side.

Alternative History
"We must not let the infidels control the Strait, control of it will spell doom for our intifada against the Americans, our Chechen brothers and our allies in Lybia have already did their part. Now it's for us to do ours." Mohammad's voice, barely audible from the sound of outboard engine's roar. "The lights are on, good. The guards will have their natural night vision hampered." Mohammad thought as the boats neared the target, some Spanish port city that was unlucky enough to be tonight's target. Everyone knew that regardless of the mission's success, they were all going to die and it was probably that thought that made the elite strike team assembled on the three speedboats unusually quiet except for the constant and loud roar from the engines, but that too, died down to a barely audible level now as they approached the site. "Stealth is our ally and key to tonight's success, we must not rouse too much attention before we are ready, we shall need to strike like a snake, unseen and deadly."

Al-Assad looked through his binoculars, scanning the well-lit coastline and the silhouette of Mohammed's speedboat in front of him as they continued to make their way to the pier. "Three hundred meters, sentry" aware that the quiet 'Thunk' and the potent nerve toxin laden grenade sailing through the air before he issued the order to have the sentry dead. The empty grenade exploding in a cloud of silent purple smoke, momentarily obscuring the view before the sentry appeared out of the smoke, tainted by the purple toxin, choking and gasping before falling into the sea with small splash. Another two sentries met a similar fate before they finally found a suitable spot to hide the boats and infiltrate the container port.

"Hurry up, we're running behind schedule" Mohammad whispered as the last boat finally docked and all 15 men were assembled. "Fan out, search for the device, our Libyan brothers have it loaded into area 85-" but was cut off as the men found the container and he was hurriedly brought forward to prepare the device.


"Backwater, this is UAV Controller Hawk One . We have visual of possibly fifteen, repeat, fifteen suspected GLA operatives at Tarifa Seaport, I repeat, sentries are down. On-board navigational equipment shows biological and radioactive is in use. Proceed with caution."

"Roger that Hawk One. Allied NATO forces are moving into Tarifa, estimated ETA 10 minutes. Stand by Hawk One, real time video of enemy location is now streaming to all allied units moving towards the docks. Maintain current height of One thousand five hundred meters."

Radio chatter between the American UAV operator and the small garrison in Tarifa went back and forth for several more minutes as the troops continued to load up to defend the town. The town, being one of the recent points of conflict between NATO forces and GLA units across the Strait have suffered increasing amount of raids and the garrison's small detachment of Spanish marines have been accustomed to marching out with little notice to intercept enemy incursions, mostly on foot, but increasingly with the AAV-7A1 as the enemy became increasingly skilled and casualties rates soared.

"This is Alfa Uno, our thermal sights spot fifteen, repeat fifteen warm bodies." A Spanish AAV commander radioed in." Probably Zaher, always blabbering on the radio about everything he sees on thermal like we're all blind. Lieutenant Turillo thought as he drove on silently in his AAV following Zaher's vehicle when the NBC warning started flashing. "This is Alfa Uno, NBC warn- yes? We got you, Backwater One. Radiological and Biological Contamination confirmed. All units proceed in MOPP 3 gear-COÑO HOSTIA PUTA. All units! We have a suspected nuclear device!" Zaher was right, the Geiger counter just went through the roof as the AAV stopped in front of the cargo docks.

The quiet rumble of the lumbering AAVs did not go unheard of within the cargo docks, metal containers only served only to cause the the quiet rumble to become what seems to sound like a mechanical echo to reverberate through the docks.

"Give me another ten minutes. This device has too much anti-tampering security still installed to it, damn those Russian dogs..." Al-Assad mumbled as he wiped sweat from his forehead, trying to arm the device. "Try and hold down the Spanish for as long as you can. By God's will, I will have it armed soon." He muttered as the still dormant device still refused to arm itself, he slammed his fist onto the device in frustration as the men previously inside made their exist to defend the docks.

"Alfa Tres. Take point." The radio crackled to life again as the last of the marines got out of the AAVs to sweep the dock, usually only the infantry would go in since the upgraded AAVs with their 20mm auto-cannons and Mk 19 Grenade Launchers tended to cause an excessive amount of collateral damage for little effect, but tonight, but the suspicion of a nuclear device has forced Zaher to make sure the operation is done swiftly and quickly. The gunner looked out the thermal sights only to spot nothing other than the cold steel containers and the paved road in front of him, the night vision turning everything green like some extremely fucked up version of The Wizard of Oz. The hum of the engine sounded comfortable, ready to evacuate the troops and wounded men in case the situation got out of control, which sometimes happened as the attacks grew more violent.

The shower of sparks caught caught the gunner by surprise. "We're taking small arms fire!" A flash from the top of the cargo container. "RPG!" Take cover!" the gunner screamed before falling another flash appeared, the first rocket missing the first AAVR by inches, the shrapnel making sparks fly off the side of the APC, a piece richoted off the APC and hit an marine in the leg.

"Doc! We have wounded!" Somebody screamed just before the second impact hit the slat armour of the leading AAV. A third round landed on the turret but bounced off and blew up above the marines when the remaining GLA troops opened fire on the ambushed marines, cutting down the first few marines before they had a chance to take cover behind the APCs, machinegun and grenade launchers returning fire as they move in to protect the troops from fire. The HEDP rounds flying left and right, the air-burst explosions killing the GLA special ops team hidden behind and inside the containers.

"Loading explosive rocket!" Mohammad yelled to the loader as he ducked back behind cover inside the container, his loader grabbing the specially marked rocket from the back-0pack.
"High explosives ready!" His loader said, barely audible above the sounds of the firefight as he drew back away from the backblast.
"Fire!"

Zaher saw the flash from the RPG, his gunner already swinging in the direction, pummeling the position with machine gun fire and grenade rounds, the HEDP rounds penetrating the flimsy metal and exploding inside, vaporising Mohammad and his loader just as the Chinese made HEAT round landed a direct hit on the lead vehicle, the aluminium armour igniting and turning the entire APC into a fireball. The few marines unfortunate enough to be standing next to it turned into human torches briefly before they were put out of their misery by those still standing.

"Fuck" Turillo muttered under his breath as he saw what just happened, his own thermal sights damaged by the explosion of the lead AAV. "Prioritise your targets men, shoot those who have RPGs" Turillo radioed out. "Bravo Squad, Alpha Squad, report in."

"This is Bravo Squad, we have 5 KIA and 3 WIA."
"Alpha Squad, we have 6 WIA....scratch that, we now have 5 WIA and 1 KIA, over."

"We have it, the device is armed." Al-Asad said as his hand wiped the sweat from his forehead. "History...has been written today and the world will witness the fury of the GLA against those who stand against it!" he screamed inside the container in triumph, setting the countdown timer for 1 minute before detonation. He grinned as he lit up a hand rolled cigarette, leaned against the container and closed his eyes.

"This is Backwater, UAV counts 1 remaining GLA operative , secure the area immediately"
"We read you Backwater." Zaher replied as he prepared to unload with his troops to find the last few enemies in the area. "We have the operative surrounded, thermals have him lighted up brighter than a candle. Jack, take point, we're going in n-" Static replaced Zaher's voice on the radio. The UAV pilot shook his head as he looked at the now blank screens and shrugged.

"This is Backwater, Alpha Uno, what is your status? Alpha Uno, what is your status? Come in Zaher! Is there anybody out there in this channel? All units, report in!" Then, it dawned upon them, chatter between headquarters personal, eyes previously scanning through all available Intel and analysis ceased as every single pair of eyes in the room were fixed upon the main screen, showing a picture of the globe, slowly zooming in onto southern Spain and then it became apparent. Tarifa was now a giant crater.

"Someone inform the President, the GLA has succeeded."


But that was not how history went down that day. The nuke a decoy, the Russians have double crossed the GLA. Plutonium inside the bomb was replaced with lead, with small inserts of radioactive material outside the bomb to fool the terrorists into thinking that the source of radiation was from the bomb itself.

But we were all fooled, fooled by their apparent incapability to wage a full scale war and their intent on maintaining it as another proxy war; just like how the GLA was fooled, into thinking that they have found true allies against their enemies.
We were all fooled, by what now is referred to, as the Russian Ruse.

Operation Freedom Uphold
“Mr President! What do you have any comment on your home state of Illinois joining the alliance between Montana, Delaware, Tennessee and Vermont threatening Congress with secession?” A reporter asked the 44th President of the United States, over the din from reporters from every single major news network trying to make their own questions heard, making the Secret Service agents very nervous.

“This is a domestic issue and it will be treated as such by the United States of America, we are trying our best to reconcile with these states in an attempt to prevent civil unrest within the nation. The United States Military, National Guard in addition to State Defence Forces have been alerted to keep the order within these states. The Department of Defence in addition to Homeland Security will complement with resolving these crises in what I hope to be a peaceful manner.”

“Is there a possibility that the Congress will authorize a pre-emptive military response against our fellow Americans?” someone in the press room asked.

“The United States of America will not issue an order for pre-emptive strike against those that do not pose a threat to us. I am quite sure that we still remember the last time we went to war, we ended up in a quagmire that lasted for 6 years in a nation that is surrounded by hostile states.” The President replied calmly to the press, showing the public that the issue is being handled and there is nothing to panic about. “However, military action will not be ruled out if the situation threatens the unity of the nation.

“Is it true that the GLA has officially recognised the new state and will not threaten the lives of those within the Allied States of America?

“The Global Liberation Army is a terrorist state and will be treated as such regardless of its position on America’s domestic affairs.” The President repeated himself again through gritted teeth. “We hope that foreign nations understand that this is a domestic affair and any nation supporting an illegal cause within the United States will bear great consequences.” With that said, the President of the United States turned to leave the stage as the press secretary and Secret Service agents walked forward to direct the to leave the press room.

Behind closed doors, the supposed calm and confidence of the young President broke. “We have to deal with these people quickly and as swift as militarily possible.” The Chief of Staff and Vice President looked on as the President frowned, reading the list of available options – both military and diplomatic stacked on his table. The V.P cleared his throat.
“Mr President…these people do have a point. They didn’t abandon us…we abandoned them.”
“They have to understand! We were facing losing the entire Eastern Seaboard from a Russian onslaught! 300 tanks backed by half a thousand men, dropping from Florida to Connecticut in the middle of a fucking war with those Muslim fanafics. A strategic regroup was the only thing we could have done…” The Chief of staff cut the President off.
“Duly noted and I’m sure history will agree with you. But you still have to remember that for all they know, they’re as good as abandoned for 5 months under an oppressive bunch of Russians. A 20% civilian casualty rate is a very high number…Barack, we’ve gone over this before, and we have more pressing matters at hand”
The President sighed as the Chief of Staff rambled on about a meeting with the head of Homeland Security, Department of Justice and Department of Defence till at least 9 o’clock tonight. He’ll have to get somebody to tell his wife he’ll be late for dinner again – which means that he’ll have to sleep on the couch again too. President of the United States, thrown out of his own bedroom.
“President Obama! Pay attention! We have a potential dissolution of the nation here. We’ve discussed this before the press conference, either we acknowledge their claim and have a ‘live and let live’ policy or we go full out conventional warfare and wipe out the separatists before they get the other states to join in. We know Florida, Georgia, Iowa and Hawaii are more than willing to make peace with the Allied States if they offer a chance to separate from the United States, we have to-”
The phone cut the Chief of Staffs off as those inside the Oval office turned their attention to it as Obama picked it up “This is the President…yes, call the National Guard; expect federal assistance within 48 hours. I’ll put the Joint Chiefs online.”
The screen behind the Commander in Chief’s chair switched on, no doubt by the Secret Service monitoring the phone call. “Yes Mr. President?”
“General Ironside, I need you back now. Montana and Vermont just activated their National Guards units, we expect the rest will follow with their move. Neighbouring states have been alerted, but we don’t expect them to be able to hold out for long. The new Crusader tanks just aren’t what we expected them to be. I need you to terminate this rebellion and quickly and with as little collateral damage as possible. You are hereby relieved of duty as Chief of Staff of the United States Army until the Allied States of America ceases to exist. Report back to me when you have departed Germany.” Obama swivelled around back to face the Chief of Staffs. “Get Granger, I want his entire fleet of Starlifters out to pick up Ironside tomorrow. Tell him their on loan to the Army until I say so.”

Opening Document:

Comrade General,

Today's brief will be on the 38th Mechanized Group Army of the People's Liberation Army, under the Overdose Directive, this information will be classified and any information you have obtained you will keep strictly to yourself. Revealing information here to others (both within the Russian Armed Forces and outside) will be punished by death.

The 38th Group Army is considered the best trained and best equipped Chinese Army Group. The unit is currently listed as at Field Army sized strength containing 1 Tank division and 3 Mechanised Infantry Divisions, a Troops Special Operations battalion attached is attached to each division. A locally produced copy of the T-80UD equips the tank division, retrofitting of the barrel, firing mechanism and additional armour has been planned in the near future.

An organic Mechanised Anti-air brigade, equipped with the LD2000 mounted on a truck-based chassis and retrofitted Dual Gatling Tanks. An organic helicopter regiment is also attached to the Army Group. PLA-AF 15th Fighter Division thought to have close ties in operations with the 38th Army, providing support with the JH-17 bomber and J-14A fighter.

6th Artillery Brigade forms the artillery support of the 38th Army Group. 3 battalion strength artillery consisting of towed artillery groups are permanently on guard to support the main combat groups. Two battalions consisting of TOS-1s and the PLZ-12 "Hammer Cannons" are dispatched onto the front-lines at battery strength under the separate command of field the regimental commander. Considered the best trained and equipped artillery brigade of the Chinese Army, the 6th Artillery Brigade also holds the distinction as the sole operator of the TOS-1 and PLZ-12 systems within the PLA. Although untested in regular warfare, the PLZ-12 has shown promise with its low orbit shell flight path and long range.

We have sources with the Chinese government that the 38th Army will be commanded by General Leang. Little is known about her past, sources indicate that she has served under General Kwai and General Fai as battalion and corps level, heading part of the initial response team when the reactor in Nonchong suffered a nuclear melt-down after being sabotaged by the GLA.

Retrofitting is currently going underway for the majority of the 38th Group Army as they prepare to be stationed in Tibet. Current list of units known to be under maintenance: 112th Mechanised Infantry Division, 113th Mechanised Infantry Division, U/I Mechanised Anti-Air Brigade.

"All the King's Men"

"Good to see you, Mr President. Welcome back, Marine One is taking you back to the White House" Agent Flury greeted President Obama as he stepped out of Air Force One with the First Lady just behind him. News reporters, camera crews were on both sides of the red carpet, capturing the President returning from what may have been the most important and dangerous conference within the 21st Century - The negotiations with representatives of the EU, Russia, China on tackling the GLA problem in Africa.
Security was tighter than usual, cameras, pens, notebooks...everything and anything was checked, rechecked and checked again by the Airport Security, Secret Service and Marine honor guard stationed to protect the President of the United States. The entire 400 man team designed to protect the First Family included policemen, Secret Service agents, Marine sniper/counter sniper teams. Attached to the Presidential guard were also to 2 Bradley IFVs, an Avenger Air Defence system, 2 Raptors circling overhead, ready to shoot down everything flying into the restricted airspace.
The security measures were in response to the GLA announcing that they would stop the conference at any cost. They already made a good show when the representative of the EU, German's foreign minister Johann Wertheimer never reached Moscow, his plane mysteriously crash landed in Siberia after a emergency change of flight path due to GLA anti-air measures. General Townes was also believed to be on the airplane during the crash. It was becuase of this, the America had a collective sigh of of relief when their President landed back on American soil in one piece and unharmed.
Despite the setback, the results were promising, Nikolai Suvorov has personally attended the conference and promised to cease the sale of arms to the GLA and commitment to nuclear disarmament. China's foreign minister Cheung Liu along with PLA appointed defence attache General Chin promised to look into the matter of nuclear disarmament in addition to formalising their commitment to upholding the defence of Europe. To the amusement of some of those present, for lack of a better choice of candidates to represent the EU, Prime Minister Gordon Brown was chosen to attend the hastily televised conference.
"This is Flury, escorting Superman and Lawyer to Marine One. All teams, be on guard for possible security breach." Eyes scanned the crowd of news reporters, looking for the out of the ordinary but found none. The surrounding buildings were scanned window by window for shadows and silhouettes. "Mr President, you will be doing your press conference indoors when you're back at the White House, the press will meet you there." Obama nodded as he made his way to Marine One, stopping as he waited for Marine One's door to open, then he was no more.
The world gasped in horror at the live footage that played for another 4 seconds before Agents rushed in to cut the camera feed. But in the horror filled seconds, the world could clearly see Barack Obama's upper torso separate and fly off as the crowd screamed in horror as the impossible happened - President Obama has just been assassinated.
From those who were present when it happened, accounts and details vary, although they all remember a number of Black SUVs, roof opened to reveal manned Gatling guns rushing to the scene to form a protective circle around First Family as return fire poured into a number of locations kilometers away.
Post-mortem forensics and evidence pointed to a single man armed with a 50cal. rifle at a range of up to 1.9km away firing the shot from a grassy knoll, the gunman eviscerated by the hail of gunfire from the chain-guns and and cannons from a Bradley as he ran. And all the King's men, for all their worth, could not stop a man on a suicide mission to change the world. Change has come to America, as the nation mourned the loss of their President and scream for the blood of those who would dare to stand against them.

Item#: XTXM-042-768 (Item# pending reclassification to XTXM®-042-768)

Object Class: Euclid (pending for reclassification to Safe)

Warning:Electrical Shock Hazard, Radiation Hazard

Origins:
768th item of interested location within craft XT-042. Item was found in pristine condition within the craft's [DATA EXPUNGED] next to XTXM-[DATA EXPUNGED], [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Believed to be part of craft crew defence equipment.

Special Containment Procedures:
Item is currently located in Armed Reliquary Area-41 in Locker 42A, ammunition for XTXM-042-768 is located in Locker 42B. XTXM-042-768 is currently maintained by Dr. [Higher Clearance Required] and dedicated on site staff no less than once a week. Cleaning is to be done by no more than one (1) personal at a time and no corrosive substances are to be applied unless as directed by Dr. [Higher Clearance Required]. In the event that XTXM-042-768 is to be taken out dedicated research areas, maintenance areas and testing areas. At least 2 security personal with Level 4 clearance are to accompany the personal(s) carrying XTXM-042-768 until the weapon is returned to its locker with all ammunition emptied from the gun and unused ammunition return to Locker 42B
In the event of the termination of above stated staff, personal may locate on site weapon smith and/or security personal to do basic maintenance and cleaning until suitable staff have been relocated.
Standard firearms safety is to be applied when wielding XTXM-042-768, under no circumstances is XTXM-042-768 to be fired at a mirror that is 180 degrees facing towards the wielder.

Description:
XTXM-042-768 is a military firearm capable of firing a intense beam of light through stimulated emission (a laser) instead of conventional projectiles. Resulting laser beam is known to [SEE TESTING RESULTS]. Size and weight of XTXM-042-768 would classify it as a modern assault rifle. The rifle is made of steel, titanium, unidentified composite plastics and a yet to be identified heavy metal. Disassembled ammunition cartridges reveal nothing more than a very complex and efficient lithium-ion battery derivative and [DATA EXPUNGED]. The internal mechanics of the weapons system is extremely simple and can be replicated with current Earth technology although the system only seems to work when assembled and housed into a gun and has so far ceased operations in all [DATA EPUNGED] attempts at replicating this system in a laboratory environment without the previously thought to be cosmetic components. No current theory on why this happens has put forward by Research Team [DATA EXPUNGED]

Military Application:
Replacing unknown plastic composites with current plastics and metals, a prototype utilising Earth technology has been so far successful although effective range of weapon has decreased by [CLASSIFIED] and firepower decreased by [CLASSIFIED]. Weight of replicate weapon system has increased by 32%, making the weapon only slightly more effective than current M16A3 fielded by US Armed Forces.

Additional Notes:

Personal Notes of Dr. James Brown.
Test Results:
1 - Personal instructed to fire at target, composed of 1cm thick plywood. Beam incinerated a 1.5cm whole through the plywood and 2 cinder blocks behind it. No recoil and temperature change recorded.
1a - Personal instructed to at 1cm thick plywood with a high quality mirror located behind the target. Beam refracted and amputated personal's left-arm. Wound cauterised, subject health inconsequential to effectiveness of tested firearm.
2- Personal instructed to fire Dragon Skin Level III protection ballistic vest. Beam was fired for approx 1.2 seconds before targeted vest combusted. Analysis reveals beam has sliced clean through upon contact of vest.
2a - Attempted Test 2 with Interceptor Body Armour with E-SAPI plates inserted. Test resulted in minor laser beam refraction within vest. Vest combusted in non-protected areas and E-SAPI plates fractured in large areas.
3 - 2 Class D personal were ordered into the testing chamber, XTXM-042-76 was fired from a hidden location. R-1 (round 1) was hit in the neck region, resulting in decapitation. Second Class D personal attempted to damage XTXM-042-76, gun was fired as subject approached firing location and was hit in the eye through a pair of glasses. Resulting beam refraction liquidated subject's eye but did not penetrate skull to sufficent degree. Subject's clothes then combusted as refracted beams dispersed onto subject's torso. Subject survived for another 8 minutes as he burned.
Cleanup crew was not summoned as subject turned into ash on its own after death. Remains disposed of in rubbish bin along with re searcher's lunch and ashtray.
4 - Gun was fired at 200mm of stainless steel, penetration reached a 05.25 seconds, beam melted a clean hole through the steal without apparent damage to other areas.
5- Gun is fired at a derelict M2/M3 IFV, personal instructed to fire in a number of locations. Target IFV was destroyed by 3rd "round" from gun. After-action report suggests R-1, R-2 both penetrated chassis and turret respectively, R-3 hit IFV-fuel tank and caused a explosion that destroyed the IFV. Given if IFV was crewed, R-1 and R-2 would've caused instant death in Gunner and Driver, deadly vaporisation of hull would've killed remaining crew.
