    Continuing the topic here so that DDM doesn't get bogged in their message wall

    Gauss Rifles are above Marine armor yeah, Marines can take a couple hits from Gauss Rifle fire because the suits are also designed to withstand Marine caliber weaponry due to them being built around the gun but are ultimately inferior as armor piercing and sustained fire kills them so they tend to hide in cover or armor up with shields.

    IIRC Marine Armor can take glancing hits from the 8mm spikes (As what happened when Raynor blocked Tychus' shot with his pauldron which spun him around) but never direct hits as those seem to always penetrate the armor (As what happened with the Gauss Pistol Mike used on Duke's Armor, and what happened against the Marines onboard the Bucephalus when being boarded by Raynor and Tychus, as well as the Umojan Marines vs Dominion Ghosts either using C-10 Rifles or AGR-14 rifles)
    Immortals also have the same physical durability as Dragoons outside of their special super shields. So it check outs that Zerglings can kill them.

    I think that's a given since IIRC Immortals are just modified Dragoon platforms after the fall of Aiur.
    For the whole hydralisks and stuff being immune to gauss rifle fire, I honestly just fix the inconsistency by saying that everyone just improves their tech and stats overtime.

    Hydra's aren't immune to gauss weapons it's just that their heads and claws are just tougher in comparison to the rest of their body (which makes sense since they're what they use to brute force and tear through the ground, steel walls, and armor). And by technicality a Hydra did survive a HEV round to the head from Raynor's HEV rifle, it died from the bullet detonating in its head. HEV rounds and the Mk. 12 Penetrator rounds aren't the same thing.

    Hey do you know the sources of these compiled feats from this thread? Specifically the feats that have broken scans.

    I haven't read all of that comicvine thread but those Gauss Rifles scans are from the book Liberty's Crusade as far as I know.

    Do you know from which sources these feats come from in the linked Respect Thread? IIRC the first two seem to come from StarCraft Frontline, Marines vs Dark Templars, while the third one, about the ghosts, is the one I have no clue about.

    1 • Cloaked attack on a small squad of marines

    2 • The visors pick up the slightest amount of movement, and they are able to kill the cloaked attackers

    3 • Surrounded by cloaked Ghosts, and a marine is able to make out locations by just sounds of voices and muzzle flashes to land kill shots on completely invisible opponenets

    1. Cloaked attack on a small squad of Marines was during StarCraft: Uprising

    2. That's actually not the visors alone during that Dark Templar assault, they called a scanner sweep from a command center first a panel or so before in order to get their visors to register the Dark Templar

    3. Also Uprising and that's more of a skill feat from an individual person rather than the Marines in general tbh

    Infested Kerrigan actually has it, just not the "I literally make a Queen Larva out of thin air" Pre-Primal HotS Kerrigan pulled

    Probably, I'll add it lol

    I'm not sure if we can add in the Implosion lifting feat from the games that pulls down even Battlecruisers, but they should have at least class 100 for lifting a siege tank and throwing it at Tosh since modern tanks like the Abrams weigh around 60 tons.

    Hypersonic also scales to her Ghost self btw since Nova can do it as a human because she reacts to Hypersonic bullets.
