Ah, that's about what I figured. Even if he had been on the other side of 
the Ripper, I would have at least given the Gunner the benefit of another BR 
(due to cover provided by the Ripper's body & armor).

And for the extra success required, Shaped Charge gives a Bomber _another_ 
potential ([1d6+1]x6) damage, _and_ lets him ignore the usual penalties of 
doing massive damage in a massive area...  :)

For even more fun, have a Booster join your group and supplement the Bomber. 
  :) :)

It does seem that when Matt tosses in "power" characters, he really makes 
them...well, powerful.  Granted, 102+ damage is definitely overkill, but 
even the roughly 18 or so average damage (that ignores most non-Delta armor) 
that the Charger can do isn't exactly fun...
