|All heavy pistols were 4M2...

Not all. SSC. Firepower ammo and the good ol' faithfull Predator and
Predator II. (The Predator didn't have a reactive trigger, or the ability to
use Firepower ammo, which added +2 to power, the Pred II could ONLY handle
Firepower.... It was my fave weapon before ShRII came out and spoilt it...)

|This system was a bit stupid sometime... When you used explosive ammo, it
|increased the staging by 1, thus making it more difficult to kill someone.

But more difficult to resist the damage that'd already been inflicted.
Variable staging always was a double edged sword.
