That's like a situation somebody told me about in a T2K game of theirs: the
PCs are a bunch of American soldiers in Alaska, protecting I don't know what
with a minigun. 400 Russians come charging up to them, and the CO says "No,
we won't use the minigun. I want to conserve ammo..."

That'll always be a point in all RPGs, I guess. Almost everybody playing a
fighter type will go for high combat skills for whatever weapon is most
common. In SR it's Firearms skill, every sammie worth his salt is going to
have Firearms 6 and puts all other skills to the side for it. I know that I
had to convince my player to take social skills otherwise he'd have spent it
all on combat and vehicle skills and Biotech...
