Re: (576) New weapons for Traveller

[To the moderator:  I do not have any rules past the first hardback book,
so I am potentially completely wrong in some of my assumptions.  Feel free

too confused.  This is my first contribution!].

I had always assumed that laser weapons _did_ have a targeting beam of
lower power (unless specifically stated otherwise), that could be used
exactly as described.  I suppose that one might want to have a switch that
would disable the targeting laser, for surprise.  I didn't consider the
goggles for seeing the beam - I was assuming something like the Terminator
used in the movie of the same name.  The laser carbine and rifle have
tremendous hit probabilities already, right?
