Chapter Sixty-Six - Points Are Precious, But Explosions Are Priceless
"The HIMAR system, or the High Mobility Artillery Rocket system, is a weapon's platform designed to carry mid to long ranged rockets onto and out of the battlefield so as to be able to assault an enemy position from a tactically advantageous angle without pre-existing defensive infrastructure.
While the HIMAR system proved its worth in the early 2000s across several theatres, its real accomplishments were during the early 2020s incursions where undefended areas were made the target of saturation bombardment by HIMAR systems in order to eradicate Antithesis threats."

"A lot?" I tried. It had four barrels. That was four times more gun per gun.
Gomorrah just rolled her eyes. "Atyacus says that it fires two hundred and forty rounds a minute. That's a decent number, but it's nowhere near enough to counter the sheer volume of antithesis we're going to be dealing with, especially as some of them will take multiple strikes to take out."
