Yes, the low Staging actually made such guns semi-useful. In SRII anyone
stupid enough to bring a 4L weapon to a firefight where the target wears
armor deserves to get shot...

A combination of the two would work very well, I think -- keep the revised
Power Levels of SRII and the way armor works, but add in the Staging rules
of SR1.
