"When I was watching the ep, I assumd that th eT-888 knocked Cam out somehow then threw her through the window from a great distance. do you think its possible for him to throw her that far?

the whole idea of throwing Cam thru the window might be to avoid getting shot. he doesnt know what wepons they have. so if thats it, he might have threw her from close then run away. see what they shoot back with?"

"#1- Depleted Uranium shells do not exist for 12 Gauge Shotgun shells. The only reason that DU rounds are used in military rounds is for extra penetration. A 12Gauge DU round wouldn't gain much extra penetration from using DU rounds. That is why the military doesn't use it. If a 12Gauge DU round would stop a tank they would just arm infantry with 12 Gauge shotguns instead of Javelins ATGM. A 12Gauge shotgun shell and a 120mm APFSDS shell are in completely different realms of penetrating pwoer.
#2-So the Terminator approaches the house where the Connors are hiding throws Cameron through the window and then runs back behind the bushes so he can kill the dog? The entire scene doesn't make any sense.
#3-Cromartie just simply ramming a rod through a Terminator and killing it, cheapens the entire Terminator mystique They are supposed to be tough not to have a metal rod easily jammed through them. "

"So, how come Garret explained that's what they used for the shotgun to take him down. :)
Also, you apparently missed a good number of forum threads about that, proving that shotgun shells with DU exist. :) I don't know the links right off the bat, but I'm certain you can find them.
I was being silly about the tank. As for extra penetration, aren't most DU rounds used only in vulcan cannons? :) M-16s, AK-47s, etc, they fail at firing DU rounds, I think. I don't think they have special ammo designed.

PLus, what are you talking about Cheapening the whole mystique? If I ram a metal rod, hmm, I thought he used his fist, through your heart, you're going to die, period. Same thing with the power-core of a Terminator. You remove that, it dies, I don't see how it's cheapens them to have a weakness.

And while I do agree with the grenade, I don't still get the whole complaints about the throwing through a window? I just don't understand the complaint. "

"I have been on those discussion about DU 12Gauge Shotgun shells and nobody has been able to produce a link. As far as I can determine the writers just made it up........."

"Well for me it was a low point. It didn't make any sense continuity wise with what they had showed Terminators vulnerable to from in previous shows. They had a Terminator take a direct hit in the head from a .50 Browning round and then 3 episodes later they have one get blown apart by a 12Gauge shotgun rounds. In my opinion in order for Sci-Fi to be enjoyable there has to be some continuity as far as technology and the effects. We are not talking futuristic weapons here. We are not talking about some future plasma gun blowing a head off. We are talking about a 12gauge shotgun that you can go out and buy.

Anyway this was already been previously discussed after Episode 8 aired. Basically in my opinion the writers pulled some serious cheese. They could have easily have said that they were using APDS Tungsten slugs and Cameron was aiming at the eye. Instead they just pulled out the 12Gauge DU round cheese. "
