[i]As he drew, Jackson fired the plasma pistol, the ensuing projectile missing as the man rolled. His shots mostly flew by due to the speed at which he had operated, and the fact that Jackson had dodged, his dueling instincts kicking in.
However, two shots registered, one in the leg and one in the upper arm. His nanites successfully took the hit, but the damage done gave Jackson perspective. 6% damage from two shots in non-vital areas meant he'd have to relocate the rest to protect himself better. As he reorganized the nanites, the flash bang went off, blinding him and deafening his ears.
His hand, however, remained steady, launching a volley of rounds and projectiles at the last known location of the merc for suppression as he entered the building to his right.[/i]

[i]The plasma rounds seemed to react with the shield, but did no serious damage. The bullets seemed to do little more than ricochet, and the soldier continued to fire, aiming carefully for Jackson's center of mass, as most trained military shooters did, steadying his pistol with both hands.[/i]

[spoiler]Note that Jackson's main gun uses hard light ammunition, but can switch to accommodate any type he happens to find. He's still using hard-light rounds at this time.[/spoiler] [i]Jackson dodges behind the wall's of the building, careful to expose as little of himself as possible. He replaced the plasma pistol in his satchel, pulling out a particle cannon that somehow seemed too large for the bag, though all of this was unseen by the merc. He charged a shot, then rapidly poked out, firing the large gun at the cover where the merc had last been.[/i]

[spoiler]The mercenary does have an energy shield capable of withstanding small energy weapons.[/spoiler] [i]The charged shot blows the soldier's cover away, and tosses him backwards. Recovering, he used his jump pack to leap to a rooftop close by, where he withdrew his railgun, charging a shot and preparing to fire. Moments after landing on the roof, he peeked and let loose a round from the weapon, the white hot sabot streaking towards Jackson's chest.[/i]

[spoiler]Alright, just letting you know now to avoid future confusion.[/spoiler] [i]It would most most assuredly kill him...except he wasn't there. He had immediately run when the merc ascended to the roofs. He was now on the second floor, climbing the ladder to the roof. The blast knocked him loose, and he fell onto his back. He took advantage of his new position to laugh another blast from the cannon through the gaping hole in the building's front, aimed in the general direction from which the merc had fired. After firing, he got up and readied for the next few moments, they would be vital...maybe...[/i]

[i]The mercenary had been positioned on the roof of the building, and the shot coming through from a lower floor simply blew a large hole into the roof behind him. He knew quickly that his opponent was approaching, and as such, he used his jump pack again to maneuver to another rooftop to hopefully gain a visual again.[/i]

[spoiler]Ive been under the belief you were on a different roof. My b.[/spoiler] [i]Jackson pokes his head out, then, seeing nothing there, reaches into his satchel, pulling out a small mirror, which he promptly tosses into the air before backing down the ladder a bit.[/i]
-
[i]The soldier did not shoot, knowing that the man he had faced did not have any sort of weapon with a scope, and thus he was not fooled by an attempted scope glare trick.[/i]
-
[i]Jackson pulls out a 9mm Glock, tossing it through the window next to him, and the window of the other building, then surges up onto the roof, keeping flat-bellied. The nanites in his eyes switch vision-mode until he hits x-Ray. He reaches back into the satchel, quietly extracting a rifle, before setting it, and firing directly at where the man's head should be.[/i]
-
[spoiler]What caliber is the rifle?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Not sure. The only one I know is 50 cal. Imma research it up for sure, but go ahead and assume it's 50 cal APR.[/spoiler]

[i]The shot staggered the man, but did not penetrate his helmet, the armor being rated in the vital regions for 20mm rounds. However, in retaliation, he fired his railgun in the place where he assumed the shot had come from once he recovered.[/i]
-
[i]Being no fool, Jackson did not wait after firing. Rather he slid to the ladder hole, falling lightly to the second floor. He dropped softly to the ground and ran around the buildings till he was a few buildings down. Finding a point peeking on the corner of a building, he aimed and fired another shot at the same area of the mercs helmet.[/i]
