You're filthy rich and have a sniper watching your back when you go out at night but he won't shoot unless you say so (or you're about to die) through the microphone hidden on your person. You get mugged by two guys, they have minor weapons, you know they can't kill you before your sniper takes them out. Do you give them your valuables and take a few punches to the face/body or give the word and have the sniper kill them before they can lay a hand on you?
(PS if the sniper took time to fire a warning shot he would only have time to refire and kill one of them before the other smashes your head in with a rock, as well as the fact the sniper has strong principles against giving warning shots)
Can anyone find any holes in that?  |
I like this. I don't like the fact that I'll get my lopsided face lumped, but the fact is that I am not in a potentially crippling/deadly scenario where the violence just escalates against me. My trained sniper will not cause unneccessary paper work for me, and besides the fallout would mean that I'd have to create a larger trusted staff pool, and with a full time sniper on duty I'd lead a pretty constrained life I'd bet. Probably the only time I'd get to meet the common folk was when I was beaten and robbed
