[i]Jason still had those cybernetics of him turned on, meaning he had reacted as soon as Amanda had begun surging... but he still moved slower than he thought. He dashed to the side, bringing the Barrett out of harms way as it was currently his most effective weapon to use against Amanda, minus his energy-saber. The shield hit his right side, the stench of burning rubber filling the air as the nanites were scorched and the rubber they were coated in melted, the black goop sizzling and hissing beneath the heat. Still, the hit would also prove to save him. Jason was knocked off balance, involuntarily turned around with his front facing his opponent's back. He stumbled backwards because of it, toppling over with a slight grin as the lightning-sword whistled over his head. The thrusters on his suit activated once more, sending him skidding over the floor and away from Amanda at a very decent pace, changing direction only once he was a good fifteen meters away, at which point he got himself back on his feet. While he was skidding and sliding, his SAW disappeared into his satchel, the grip of his Barrett switching over to his now free right hand, the left wrapping around the underbarrel grip. Once he stood, he immediately fired, pulling the trigger three times in rapid succession, sending exactly three Raufoss Mk 211 bullets flying at Amanda's head with a muzzle velocity of 853 meters per second -- practically impossible to dodge. It was only possible because it was the M107A1, which was semi-automatic instead of bolt-action.[/i]
