um, most semi-auto weapons will have the same external dimesnions without the
magazine, also most firearms IRL have their weight listed without ammo and
magazine. What is so hard to see about that? And will the weight of a gun be
reduced once youy fire it? (as someone else said<about smartlink induction
pads sorry can't remember name> if the gun is listed WITH magazine, someone
will want a different stats for the unloaded weapon)

Someone found a discrepancy, they said hmm, lets fix this. The they did,
making the gun as it stands the NEW AND IMPROVED version. If this differs from
1st edition or if it differs from teh idea of a former DLOH, so be it. This is
now the official stat.
As has been said, if you want to stick to what you percieve to be right,
that is fine for your campaign, why do you keep telling everyone that the gun
is officially YOUR way?
