Erik, where did you find this info so I can use this!!! i had always had
the perception that only the one half of impact applies in the case of
laser weapons. and in the case of a weapon that does 14 power
level, that ain't a lot.....

As I understand it, vehicle armor ratings are, in a way, the combination
of BOTH baliistic and impact armor. Actually, now that I think about it,
for MOST situtations (I'm not sure lasers count), vehicles have double
Impact ratings (double vehicle armor against clubs and fists and
flechettes and such). I believe that this is all in the core rules of
SRII. The vehicle combat section does seem to have some contradictions,
but I think this is where I found this info.
