Talk:Evangelion Ranged Weapons
Positron Rifles
Whatever gun Asuka was using against Israfel, it does only a fraction of the damage done by the similar weapon seen in Episode 22. I assume it's more of something that looks like the "20x" version seen in Episode 06. (Notice that Asuka needs the targeting visor to place the "20x" version on Arael). Israfel is one of the weaker Angels, a positron gun should have been able to hurt him very badly.
As an aside, the Positron Sniper Rifle Eva-00 uses is not the same weapon that is used to shoot Ramiel. This weapon has certain visual differences, like a large cylindrical drum on top of it, and it is also operating at a much lower power level- they didn't announce a power blackout all over Japan to deal with Arael, did they? --UrsusArctos 21:23, 20 August 2007 (EDT)
