The best way to survive a firefight is to avoid it entirely. There is no

There's a nice discussion parallel to this one over on rec.games.frp.cyber
on this very topic. The upshot is that weapons are, historically, better
than armor, and they do an excellent job of killing things. But, if you
don't like it that way, there are a number of changes you can make to the
mechancs, and they're listed in the back of the SRII rulebook.
