1) True, it's possible it was contained, but it seemed to climb vertically to a little higher than shots from the Celica in the Yellow Trailer. May just be my imagination and the wierd angle, though.

2) Any specific examples? I just watched the explosions alone disorient a massive Nevermore so much that it lost control and crashed into a cliff face, so...

3) But if you want an example not from V1, during V2's 'Painting the Town', she fires it behind her as she's flying through the air, being swung on Blakes Kusarigama. There are two potential reasons for this- 1) she wanted to waste ammo or look flashy or 2) it had a decent impact on her speed.

4) And as far as the Muzzleflash not being 1/3 as big as the blast, that's just wrong. 1) If Glynda blocked it in one side, the blast could only go in the other directions. Though the fact that it was still too....pillar-like, can be excused as RT simply not bothering with it. Especially since in V1 they practically had no budget and the team was miniscule.

2) Yeah, now if you were driving on the street and some idiot teen jumped on your car, blocking part of your view, while shooting marbles at your face, you would lose control and crash too.

It's no proof EC is strong. It's only proof that you are bound to crash if someone blocks your view while firing at you point-blank.

But it should be noted that multiple EC shots at that distance did absolutely nothing but simply make the Nevermore crash. Even then, it was going to lift off inmediately, until Weiss froze it's tail, so it's not like it knocked the Nevermore out.

3) Force = Mass x Acceleration (angular in this case, but still). Anything that could increase her speed, even if it was small, would increase her Acceleration and thus the Force on impact.

4) Read.......I was comparing those muzzleflashes from when she's falling into the forest, to any other time those muzzleflashes have appeared. I never said Blast in that sentence.
