True. I tried 'unsigning' the standard energy wpns using Striker and the
stats given in Striker. And I was very unsuccessful. I then tried to
design an autocannon for personal use.....
It was a 2cm bore and came out to be about 20kg not including ammo.
(I don't remember all of it. It never worked and it was about 5 years ago)
