Hmm. My post was more a suggestion on how to use SR1 damage codes with SR2
products than an offer to post the table *I* actually use. First, I
wouldn't want to step on FASA's toes. Secondly, as Gurth pointed out,
there is a net.book which covered some of the conversions. You could just
go from there.

Gurth also noted (correctly) that there are minor variations only between
weapons within a class. Here's a quick reference (typical members of a
class):

Pistol, Heavy 4M2
Pistol, Light 3M2
Pistol, Hold-out 3L1

Katana (Str)M3
Club (Str+1)M2 STUN
Monofilament Whip 6S4 (!)

Assault Rifle 5M3
Sniper Rifle 6S2
Shotgun 4M3
Sub-MG 5M3
LMG 5S3
MMG 8S4
HMG 12S4
Assault Cannon 10D4


If anyone still wants more information, feel free to drop me a line at
<tauri@**.net.au>. Probably better than clogging up the list.

Cheers.
Tauri.

PS. I also reworked the ammunition rules if anyone is interested. As
someone pointed out already in this thread, they caused a few problems in SR1.
