Well this chapter was really good, lots of action

Glad you liked it! Again, I'm sorry I took forever. Only have myself to blame.
I was worried about how people would feel over this chapter, so I'm glad you didn't think it totally sucked.
Holy moly. That's...
You did it, nice. Very good chapter
It was excellent.

Sorry for falling into that trap. I never really put any thought into it when I wrote that, I simply went ahead and wrote it because I was being told the story wasn't dark enough and stupidly thought to give in and just go wild with whatever came to mind.
Good news is that I have no more of this issue in store, so you won't have to deal with that from me again.
I'm really glad I gave you some hope, I definitely understand what you mean. I've tried reading quite a few stories and I know I'm far from perfect with mine, especially when I first began writing - but some of them... Project Human is a shining example of bad literature and exactly what most people think when they hear 'fanfiction'.
It's not the only bad one I've tried to read, but I don't want to come off as arrogant and start listing them off as if I'm a godsend to the subfandom.
But yeah, thank you. It means a lot to me to hear you genuinely do still like reading despite all the fuck-ups I've made.
Back to the chapter talk - you're right, I really do need to throw some energy weapons in at some point. Not once have I used any, huh?
I suppose we can look at it as if they're rare for the moment, or that standard guns are more reliable in terms of ammo/amount/repairs (because they are meant to be.)
I'll figure out somewhere to use some, it's not like I ever said the Coalition for example never use them or that there can't be someone who has some, so it's nothing that goes against any plans I have.
Perhaps you'll like the next chapter if you're after logical, sense-making stuff. Next chapter we'll start to see something that questions everything and hopefully makes some sense in terms of all this stuff.
But yah, thank you as always Regolit. I really appreciate having you as a fan, you're awesome.

First of all, thanks for being able to put up with the sudden drop in quality! Once I get a chance, I am going to be rewriting all of the early chapters and reformatting up to roughly chapter 15. Being me I'm slow at it, but yeah. So I appreciate you being willing to put up with it!
Secondly, thanks for the comment in general. It's always nice to see some new discussion.
Finally, I'm glad you think such things. I won't give any definitive answers to anything like this unless you explicitly state that you do want me to, but I'll tell you I appreciate that you've obviously got a reasonable thought process for what can happen.

Thanks for that. You make some very fair points here and I am aware of a few of them, while I wasn't aware of the hand-loaded ammo for example.
To go point by point though:
The sentinels aren't actually ultra sentinels themselves. Sorry to confuse you with that. I'll make sure to change that to be clear when I get around to it. They're sentinels (normal variant) given a little tougher armour and some heavier weapons and their task is to hunt down any ultra-sentinel level threats. One on one they'd not stand a chance of course, but given there's a team of them, that's how they'd do it. Hence the name, Ultra Sentinel Hunters.
Like I say, I'll make sure to rework that and clarify things like this.
The Prise comment is something that's actually coming up in chapter twenty three. I wanted to make it twenty two, but with the way twenty one panned out it was best off breaking it into two different chapters. It has been left for far too long, I agree. I'll go ahead and admit I completely forgot about it and thus missed out on other chances to explain what that is, but if you ever manage to get past the next chapter and over to chapter twenty three once it's out, the way I have to explain the whole Prise thing may be worthwhile.
The changing perspective thing I can't remember if I do that almost every time or just some of the time, or even just that once. I remember the first time I did it was because it was the first time and I wanted my readers to be surprised at the change, I don't remember if/when/why I do it other times though.
The naming stuff is a fault, I know, but there's some logic to it.
Coltchester is the regions namesake, like Manchester - you've got Manchester city and Greater Manchester for example - or London and Greater London.
So colloquially it's the Colt region, but that's more headcanon stuff at this point.
Anyway, it began as Coltchester, to which Coltshire was then built after when they needed somewhere else too (before the war) and Coltshire Commons wasn't actually a town of its own at all, but more a "secluded" series of nicer homes and became a location for a small military hospital to take wounded soldiers away from the frontline and mega hospitals like the Fluttershy Clinic and so on.
So back on topic, Coltshire Commons is actually a post-war name, Commons given to it for the apartment tower that stands there.
...It is some lazy naming in real life, but that's the in-universe explanation to hopefully help you. Also if it helps, Coltshire (no commons) is always referring to the town. 'The Commons' or Coltshire Commons is always referring to the little Coltshire Commons.
Thanks for the grammar mistake point-out. I get better at noticing those over time though I'll never pretend I'm perfect. I don't use pre-readers (normally) because I'm always too excited to just get more content out than wait like I should do.
As for the hand loaded ammo, complete mess-up on my part and you're completely right. Unless the trader was a griffon, which it wasn't, Crimson should say hoof. I'll fix that right now.
