They're also under the Baen imprint, which means no DRM, and you can get
them in lots of formats from

The slight difference was that his attack took out the enemy too. I think most of his Marine body was on one hand ticked off by the attack and on the other glad of his intervention.

I think I used it when our glorious Captain of the March Harrier tried using an SMG in each hand. Given he had no skill at all and was already operating at a -3 DM, it generally resulted in his crew taking way more hits than any enemy.
