Two things to note in today's strip. Firstly, the expression "Eat hot steel" comes from the way that these guns work. They have two consumables. One being a small, high-capacity battery that supplies the power and second being a steel rod that provides the source material. The gun rips off a chunk of steel from the rod (of varying size, selectable by the user) and then uses a magnetic impulse to launcg the projectile at sonic speeds down the barrel. That's why there's no magazine under the gun and no casings being ejected.

The second thing to note (which may worry a few readers) is that the police vehicle appears to have rubber tyres. Fear not, the good news is that they are made of advanced silicone compounds and are biodegradable. The body of the car is made of easy to recycle aluminium.

Which is bad news for the officers inside...

Raktaar: Grab all of it! Jaxon: The cops! Raktaar: Take the loot! Daniel: Fall back! Orna: Eat steel, copper! SFX: Really cool-sounding gunfire sounds. Okay, so "Dakka Dakka" ain't the best sound effect, just go with it... please?
