User blog comment:GSFB/Terran Marines (Starcraft) vs Mobile Infantry (Starship Troopers)/@comment-69.35.208.126-20150919062732

To my understanding, the mobile infantry in the novel would stomp. Any other version gets whipped. To put it in perspective, the movie mobile infantry use a rifle firing the 7.62 NATO (I think, it's been a long time since I looked in to it), the same round we use today along the 5.56 NATO. Anyway, this round would bounce off the Terran Marine power armor while the Terran's larger 8mm spikes that fire at a much higher velocity will tear straight through the MI.
