43: Doubtless.

I think to be fair the Shiruken needs to be pitted against a published design (preferably VG1 since that was the source for the Shiruken itself).

I was looking at VG1 and was thinking Sargasso or Iguana.

I think the first test is the Thresher. I suspect that even in a head to head a Shiruken with 8 points metal on the front might be able to get close enough to discharge that volley and might even get through to the plant. If we give the gunner an AR he might be able force a surrender even if the Thresher is only immobilised.

If the Lightning Bug cannot overcome a a vehicle less than a third of its cost then it deserves my scorn ;)
