Beats me, but I think it sould be 90,000.

Really confused me.

I would think that FASA finally figured out that by their own rules for
flechette rounds that the +1 Damage Level only counts when you hit a target
that has no body armor, so they took it off of the weapon damage. You have to
add it back in yourself when it applies. As for saying it was already factored
in, they probably just forgot to remove that statement from the book.

Looks like another classic example of FASA's astounding editing skills.
