Weaponized Math, by Jonathan Brazee
Weaponized Math is in The Expanding Universe Anthology, vol. 3. I think it's a Sad Puppy entry for the Nebulas. It's pretty much a war story, with minor tweaks to transport it slightly into the future and to another planet. I think it could be set in a dry area of South America pretty easily. The protagonist is a female sniper, who has killed gunmen from long range and thus earned the title Hunter of Gunmen. The story describes the battle and weapons in detail satisfying for a military fiction fan. The guy has been there and knows how battle goes. But it's really not particularly speculative. 2 stars.
