The fact that everyone else is so caught up on the fact that woman shot an alien power cell with a *Moist Nugget* kinda bothers me a bit. Cause this is a woman who used a two hundred year old rifle that went through all those things, probably in the dark at long range with no real night-vision (perhaps a scope? Though given it wasn't mentioned I'm thinking iron sights here) and maybe with some lights around (Then again given they were using laser-sights maybe not) with a rifle that was mass produced that they couldn't even get out *fast enough* to the point there was rumors that during one of said world wars that men were sent out with ammo rather than rifles to pick up ones that were on the ground via men dying... This woman, to me, able to shoot an alien's 'magizine' of their rifle, probably in the dark with that alien RUNNING, more than likely using either iron sights or an old scope with a two hundred year old rifle, is quite possibly the most terrifying thing I can think of in this universe. Ratjoskie is not a person I would cross at all, no sir.

1. The alien was not running in the story. He was surounded, and they had fired a shot at his feet to make him stop. 2. The Mosin is quite capable of having a modern optic added to it. People do it all of the time. 3. It is also quite accurate, and capable of consistently hitting a person at 300 yds, with the iron sites, and at less than 100, can easily hit a fist sized target that is standing still.

The Mosin-Nagant, or at least it's early models, is already 130 years old, having entered service in 1892. It also did have a long production run, with many even being made after the Second World War. Assuming her's was made in time to serve in the first World War (as stated) which ended in 1918, it today would already be at least 104 years old. There are many war era rifles that still work just as well today as they did then, even through heavy civilian use after their military service lives. Even centuries out there may be masses of specimens that have been mummified in cosmoline only after light use or even straight from the factory. But it is not out of the question for a robust turn of the (20th) century rifle to continue working through two centuries of use.
