they began to salivate and jump up and down in anticipation.

What ensued could best be described as nothing less than an outright slaughter. As in most combat situations, mistakes are rarely discovered until it is too late. The first of these mistakes was the lack of observation concerning the fact that most of the fruity things had hands and arms, but no fingers. When it came to firing their weapons, they were unable to. They were helpless victims as the rabbity things pounced on them and chewed them to pieces.

The vegetables, however, were able to get off several rounds, killing some of the rabbity things almost immediately.
