Since it only adds the weapons threat value, and the Ranger Arms SM-3
specifically stats it can only be used once per turn, I'ld assume that
inderect fire weapons generally add to all of the challenges.

I personally don't use any inderect fire weapons in that way, since it
is usually a better idea to provide damage soaking ability for a runner
team rather then damage dealling, since with FASA's official ruling that
Sniper Roost and Deckers count as part of the 6 Runners Inderect fire
users would have to also count towards that number.

Yep, FASA has stated this officially. THey'll take programs, spirits or
spells as well... I just love the idea of Street Scum trying to control
that Greater Elemental... :)

It's so you don't try and switch Cyberwear to a differant runner after it
has been placed in a Runner. (ie it's not healthy to just rip out cyberware
to just give it to a friend)

Sorry, it goes into the draw...

That's a rough one. I'ld have to fo with Roxy since card text can violate
the basic rules of the game....

Once again these are just my opinions (well the Street Scum/Cyberware
question is an official FASA ruling)...
