First, nice job!

| AMMUNITION/ATTACK DAMAGE BARRIER PENETRATION BARRIER
| RATING RATING

| Blasts Barrier Rating x 2 Barrier Rating

Shouldn't there be two categories of Blasts, direct and indirect?
When I say direct I'm thinking of the demolitions expert placing a
shaped charge on the barrier itself, or a direct hit by a missile.
For indirect I'm refering to grenades and such going off in the
vicinity.

| Gel (Stun) ammo Barrier Rating x 2 Barrier Rating

| Rubber Bullets Barrier Rating x 2 Barrier Rating

Why isn't the Penetration Rating higher for these? I'd think that
gel and rubber rounds wouldn't have much of a chance penetrating any
barrier.

| barrier.

Just a few gramatical criticisms. Try, "the Power Level is less than
one-half..."

| c) the Power Level is larger than the Damage Barrier Rating. Subtract the
| Damage Barrier Rating from the Power Level, multiply by 2, divide by the

"the Power Level is greater than the Damage..."

| Two words: therapy.
