I'm sorry but does anyone else find this weapon suitably powerful. This is
18D we are talking about isn't it. This is a painful blast, unless all of
you characters have heavy military armour. And even then 12 skill will
still do an ouchy.

Does anyone else find the scale of armor and weapons is no longer suble. My
pcs all want heavy military armor and vehicle lasers mounted on the
shoulder. Because of all of the technology, NPC's need barret sniper rifles
amd 12 layers of clothing.

What happened to a narcojet pistol or silenced predator with gel rounds, and
sporting only an armored jacket?
