Yep, except that there's a rule in BattleTech that gives a die roll chance
of doing a small amount (one or two points) of damage to a 'Mech with an
infantry weapon. (It's in Tech Readout 3026 for one place.) My guess is
this represents the chance of the bullet hitting something fragile enough
to be damaged by the weapon, like going into an air intake or knocking the
glass out of a sensor. When introducing BattleMechs in SR for whatever
reason, IMHO it's a good idea to keep this rule just so PCs without a
'Mech of their own aren't _completely_ helpless.
