Talk:War Machine Armor Mark VII/Iron Patriot Mark II/@comment-65.101.75.172-20190517162415/@comment-35163166-20190517175837

my point was for first argument it was scrapped (probably due Marvel higher-ups not making their minds up, that's why i brought the concept up (the Mark V concept actually heavily influenced Mark VIs) and actually they reused Mark Vs Backpack unit in Infinity War as a compromise, it would've been bad-ass suit btw). second was due natural tech progress, look at tony's suits. Tony made him a suit and started working on replacement some time later (That's what patriot is basically an upgrade but ended up as back-up suit). it *was* built by Stark, there's no need for evidence my point was ever since Mark II (built by Stark in between Iron Man 2 and The Avengers (MCU comics)) Rhodes did field Mark II during The Avengers movie, but he didn't make to NY in time (he was in asia at the time). He made it to that Shawarma scene in post credits (if memory serves also included in the MCU comic). Stark was building them because nobody else used arc reactor besides Stark, and design itself was kept only for Stark himself (AIM didn't have a hand it that). Mark III had hammer as optional non-lethal weapon to incapitate people (happened to be cap). as far as ammunition goes it older suits were armed with micro-cannons (which i assume were 20mm caliber and that's why ammo wouldn't be a problem since a lot of AF's aircaft be that F-15 or F-22 armed with 20mm M61A1 or M61A2 Vulcan gatling guns (also 20mm caliber)) which stayed till Mark IV. Back mounted ones are more (most likely 40mm and AC-130s use those rounds mostly)). Anyway they didn't bother covering the suits in movie-comics (i mean MCU comics) much so there's not much to forward with. my point overall in all this dig around further not just stating the obvious but also concepts hold clues, MCU comics, official media (books, deleted scenes and stuff) but believing them is up to you
