  I meant the 10mm SNUB is Berettas equivalent as far as ubiquitousness
goes.

  The XMH-242 is an assault weapon a-la Minimi.


  I prefer a feature list to Adrian's code system. Of course, some pieces
of equipment need additional (GM only) information (i.e. jamming mods) but
these may be hooked in somehow. Thus, the 2300AD has a very good hardware
stuff, including strangeness. The system DOES increase GM and player load.
