Exactly. There was some minor variation in SR1, like some SMGs doing 4M3
and others 5M3, but that's it -- and since SR2's Damage Codes differ in
the same way (6M and 7M for those same SMGs) it would be a trivial
matter to add a Staging to the Damage Codes.

Hmm... I may have to try this next time we play...
