Just a thought. It appears that the Goliath required skilled driving/strategy to get in position for a disabling or "killing" detonation. I think that a single shot setup with fixed elevation is a fair approximation of that difficulty. If shot at, any point, anywhere, you are out. Seems like a fair challenge. If you set it up with a flat or slightly negative trajectory that will force it into a close enough range. I know I wouldn't waste my one shot trying to hit someone "at range"/20-40ft. Of course this is all speculation because I have never attended an event:-/ Mike B
