That's not bad but I run a fast deck that usually gets guns for free,
so I go with the APs to get the free ammo as well. I need to free up
my nuyen for the specials I use....

Again it's really a function of my deck and opponents, they tend to use
blazing guns so using two seperate guns, allows for a quicker recovery,
and as far as I'm concerned an extended clip is not a very viable option
since they need a gun and 2 peices of Ammo before they are useful....
My deck tends to be a speed deck that keeps challenges at 3 on each objective
and throw out a bunch of specials until I get out my standard running team...
I'ld be curious to hear what your main deck strategy is.....

That's what the other guys and my friendly neighborhood decker are for. :)
