Tangent and Risp walk out, and head north. In a camp up north, the last of the troops from a rival army are. They have been preparing a strike against the Peep Army for a few days now, but they had proven hard to root out, since while they were all infantry they are also highly manuverable and equipped with personal force-field generators that deflected small-arms fire. Their missle troops had successfuly kept airstrikes out, so the only real option would be a clash of infantry. Risp lays the machine gun down onto an overlooking ridge and, not knowing what to expect, fires it straight into the mass of soldiers. The bullets spew forth, and the camp soon becomes a killing zone. The bullets from the machine gun slide through all the force-fields like they did not exist, and kill the enemy effortlessly.
After seeing the white flag of surrender raised at the camp, Risp turns to Tangent. "What did you do to that gun?"
"I called it's power from the past. When this machine gun was first made, an attack from a machine gun onto a camp of totally unprepaired and unarmored soldiers would have produced a similar result. But, you say, they were armored? Their force-fields were no use. Such things did not exist in the past when this machine gun was made so they do not exist to this gun's bullets. Ironically, such ancient weapons as these will be among the Peep Army's most modern and powerful weapons."
Tangent smiles.
However, this gun would not be so effective in the war against Xion and L_G. Since they more rely on magic or enchanted armor for protection, they would be safe. In this alternate universe magic was known all the way back to the medival period, perhaps before then, and magic protection was the only thing keeping machine guns in wars from creating the killing zones machine guns created in the real world when they were first used.
