Interesting chapter, lots of action, I has honestly expecting the Institute to have anticipated the whole attack and destroy the assault on them. Still, it was fun. One thing that I wonder about is if Time's regenerating abilities are so potent that he his severed leg he left behind him grow another Fast Times like a starfish. On that same note I wonder if his verily is do is high he can even impregnate a sterile mare or Griffin. Still, I wonder what they will find in that Gunner Stable.
I forgot how Fast's cutie mark look like
Just finished reading from chapter one to chapter eighty-four and I am LOVING IT!
How is that even possible?
Hello Crazy One.
Being a former Enlisted Weapons Instructor, I have a certain knowledge base that might come to bear upon your writing.
For instance... Val's '25mm' grenade launcher. That's only 2.5 centimeters, or (2.54cm = 1 inch) 1 inch diameter grenades. Such a small round would not be very effective since only about 40% of the volume would be explosives, and the casing would be built to fragment (mental image here... think of a bullet-shaped, WW2 grenade, only 1 inch across!).
If I were writing this, I would have armed her with at least a 40mm launcher instead, or a 60mm. Both of which I have experience with and both being effective combat weapons. 40mm grenade launchers were used, and are still used, by American, NATO, and even Warsaw Pact countries, and that being so, the rest of the world uses them as well.
An example of a 40mm grenade launcher would be the M-203. A device that mounted under the barrel of the M-16 rifle and fired like a single shot shotgun, except that to reload one would slide the whole works forwards, load, slide it back to engage the breach and firing pin base, thus priming the trigger for the next firing.
A 40mm grenade launcher has a lethal radius of around 10 to 15 meters and can wound upright targets easily at double that range.
The 25mm grenade launcher you have Valkyrie using is more like a combat shotgun firing grenade rounds, rather than a dedicated, effective, grenade type combat weapon.
Now, on to the pros and cons of both weapons.
25mm - Pro: Val's weapon is almost ideal for combat in contained areas, like hallways, rooms, and such.
25mm - Con: Fragmentation area effect would scatter too many of the fragments over too large a volume to be truly effective in larger areas (like aerial combat, which she seems to enjoy).
40mm - Pro: Denser 'clouds' of fragments in contained areas, more 'blast effect' damage from the explosive. Ideal for aerial combat against other flyers, or enemies out in the open.
40mm - Con: Blast effect would be contained in rooms and hallways, making close quarters use hazardous to the person shooting as well as to the enemy. Also, the fragments would be moving faster and have a greater chance to penetrate things like walls, doors, ceilings, armor, furniture, delicate electronics, etc.
25mm - Pro: Can be fired like a rifle round out of something similar to a Combat Shotgun due to small size, thus giving each individual round a higher velocity to target and less of a chance for enemies to dodge the incoming round.
40mm - Pro: slower round speed, but can 'arc' over barricades, and even be fired to explode over the heads of enemies, showering them with the larger and denser cloud of fragments.
You are the author. Your choice. But please don't have Val's dinky 25mm doing 40mm damage. It just detracts from the 'realism' of the story and sticks out like a sore thumb to someone like me.
Just my thoughts,
the Frank Pony
I really hope Fast can get True the help she needs, so she isn't stuck in that isolation cell for her own safety, indefinitely. Fast is absolutely right, it doesn't matter what she is, but who she is, she is Minutemare Leuitenant True Blue. She already seems to be starting to get a handle on her situation, accepting that which is simply beyond her control, and focusing on that which she can control; if the Railroad can get the good doctor to safely pull out or disable those remote overrides and failsafes in True's head, she'd make for an ideal liason between the Minutemare's and the Railroad.

I'd say that ship has already sailed, the author would have to go through all 1.68 million words of the current story to correct each and every reference of Val's 25mm GMG, and it would require a total rewrite of the occasions where Fast specifically lamented that Val's 25mm grenade rounds are completely incompatible with the unique 40mm 'Thump Thump' that Dance gave to him.

Same!
Try to get into contact with the Railroad, they should be able to help
