Corrected entry: This relates to the APUs defending Zion. Okay, I counted at least 60 APUs, during the scene where Mifune does his speech(Twelve rows of five abreast). 60 APUs, two guns per APU, makes 120. Plus, there are guns on the tower in the dock, I counted eight turrets with four barrels apiece, so another 32. Now, just estimating, the hole made by the digger is 5-10 meters across, 20-40 feet. The bullets would have to be depleted uranium 'tank-buster' shells to destroy the sentinels. My problem is this: with the number of bullets being fired into the digger entrance, how did any sentinels actually get through to Zion? I'd think the sheer number of bullets flying, plus all the shrapnel and collisions forming from sentinels being destroyed, none would get through.

Correction: Sheer weight of numbers. The initial entry group would be cut to pieces, but, as time passes and the defending guns need reloading, simple chance dictates that eventually some will get through. Once that occurs, the defending firepower will have to split, as some have to focus on the Sentinels within the dock. It's also probable that the Sentinels within the dock will manage to take out some of the defending guns prior to their own destruction. With less guns and multiple targets to consider, less firepower is trained on the entry hole, allowing more Sentinels through, and the whole thing spirals out of control from there.
