nowhere else could you find so many people who’d butcher eachother like that

True, but the staff-cannon-things don’t seem like a great alternative, given that they’re usually fired from breast-hip height and seem to lack optics. And even if they did have optics, you’d think gliders and especially Al’kesh would already have engaged you.

Staff weapons against gliders, sure, but that just touches more on the cinema-cool element, where advanced aerospace-fighters are taken down by weapons that shouldn’t hold a candle to that sort of platform. Another example is Shepard shooting down a wraith dart with an M249 (which he was carrying for whatever reason).

Stingers and AT-4’s I can understand, but I feel like more realistically they’d be on the far edge of what could defend against gliders and darts.

You could live forever without fear of the heat-death of the universe :o
