Have you ever noticed how sams use all sorts of different guns, and yet there
isn't *really* any big differences between them? Pretty much, all guns of
the same class are the same, neh? But there isn't really one gun that all
sams prefer.
My point is thus: everything in Shadowrun is simplified. That's just the
way Shadowrun is - the computers, for another example, go along a very clear
and obvious progression from drek to wizhot. In life people endlessly debate
which computers are best, but in SR nobody who isn't WAY out on beetles would
argue that A Fuchi-4 is better than a Fuchi-6.

I think what SR needs is more vehicles, especially drones. Not necessarily
more stats. And as to the road layout, as a GM I always describe the road
layout and enforce skill checks as necessary. Isn't that just like
describing where a combat takes place and enforcing vision/cover modifiers
appropriately? There is no game mechanic to randomly decide where walls are
for diving behind. . .
