Besieging Troops' A-15s

A-15 rifles bristle in the fists of 1,200 troops hunkered outside the Haitian embassy gates, muzzles hungry and locked on the compound as four 105mm howitzers gape their maws at the front door. Nancy's voice cracks through the Situation Room frenzy, tallying their firepower against fading embassy power and a diabetic deputy chief's vanishing insulin, Leo's demands sharpening the peril while Bartlet's gaze drifts to church bells.
