<p><b>Observation:</b> &quot;A creature that only
took one clip to kill at the beginning of a battle
shrugs off four clips of light machine gun fire
and leaves a squad of marines looking like they've
been fed through a wood-chipper.&quot; </p>
<p><b>Thesis:</b> Current thinking is that anywhere
from three inches to half a foot of force-distributing
micro-honeycombed cartilage forms beneath the
skin. This means that gunfire does do damage &#150;
just much less than normal. This cartilage takes
up internal space that would otherwise be used
by the &quot;Regeneration&quot; or &quot;Redemption&quot;
evolution.</p>
<p>Alien carapace, much like marine <a href="front_armor.html">armor</a>,
absorbs a certain percentage of damage. The rest
is taken off the alien's health. Different species
of alien have different amounts of armor. The
following is a chart of carapace upgrades for
each species:<br>
