I have a problem with that, if you are going to use variable staging it
needs to be on both ends of the weapon. Typically the shooter will have
lower target numbers then the target already so they would have the
advantage. ie: Guy shooting pistol with damage code of 6M3 gun is smart
and he is at short range shooter needs 2's and the target needs 6's. If
shooter only needs 4 successes to hit for D and the target needs 3 to get
it back down then it could be slightly overbalanced IMHO.
