You don't comprehend the amount of newtonage being applied back to the walker by that gun, do you?

As for bolt or pulse weapons, and not beam weapons, they're apparently somesort of neutral particle that ignores the gravitational force and glows laterally just like beam pulses. Mad theorized in his original theory that the pulse, which is formed from short-lived decay products, was a form of the antigrav neutral particles from pulse weapons, and pulse weapons just fired longer-duration versions in small blobs directly (for apparently rate of fire and response time and other advantages).

Actualy, I do. I can also say bassed on how those legs reacted that if that thing was on tracks, they would have to use some more stabilization on the turret. Obviously whatever stresses the thing took, some of it was transmitted into the legs.

Again, I'd prefer if it was a reaction to the gas expulsion at the initiation.

Whatever it was, some sort of KE was transfered into the body of the SPHA-T. Those legs aren't bending for no reason.
