I'm going to have to try some of the concentional X-Com weaponry, because
right now I'm using Gauss, and nothing stops them...  I'm still researching
into proper Sonic weaponry, and Sonic Pulsars only slow them down.  Shoot,
everything I have only slows them down.

I finally managed to take one down yesterday, and was in the middle of
cheering when his buddy came at me like a tank, and *cough cough sudden
power failure cough*.
