That brings back a memory. I friend of mine who I was trying to get
interested in Shadowrun brought up the same point. We argued forever

Well the good thing about SR 1 was the fact that you actually had to =
make s decission
when chosing weapons. Choose a low staging weapon for soft non-armored =
target (easy to stage up and not very easy for them to stage down). Then =
when the heavyarmored sec guard approaches you got to explosives =
(stagiing +2) which makes his armor less valuable. You will not kille =
him in a single shot, but at least you get to wound him.

Understanding this of course requires a knowledge of SR1 armor rules as =
well.
