They annihilate four entire villages, three of them just to draw Jack out to try and kill him, and they have no qualms about using ''all'' of their weapons on one man. Not only are they well-armed, Jack doesn't have the strength to cut through their armor. Without the help of the scientist's bionic arm and literal DivineIntervention, Jack would've ''lost.''
