Zamanov leapt up and swung—just as Schofield lunged forward, ducking inside Zamanov's swing arc, at the same time whipping something metallic from his borrowed utility vest and jamming it into the Russian's mouth!
Zamanov didn't have time for shock, because Schofield didn't hesitate.
He activated the mountaineering piton—and turned his head away, not wanting to see this.
With a powerful the piton's pincer-like arms expanded, shooting instantaneously outward, searching for something to wedge themselves against.
What they found were Zamanov's upper and lower jaws.
Schofield never saw the actual event, but he heard it.
Heard the foul crack of Zamanov's lower jaw being stretched far further than it ever was designed to go.
Schofield turned back to see the Russian's jaw hanging grotesquely from his face, dislocated and broken. The upper arm of the piton, however, had done more damage: it had bruised Zamanov's brain, leaving Zamanov frozen bolt upright in mid-stance, the shock having shut down his entire body.
The Russian fell to his knees.

So, obviously, the picture is what happens to a cam when a writer gets hold of it, turn it into a mountaineering piton, and then explodes it in a bad guy's mouth. After that, it probably fell to the ground from a helicopter in a controlled explosion or something. |
