FF&S firearm designs

I've been reading the archives of the Beta test group.  I noticed someone
was designing a *large* rifle.  In the 15mm range.  From what I remember,
*large* weapons were coming out much bigger than their real-life counter-
parts.  Is that still true or did GDW come up with a fix?

  If the 15mm rifle came out fairly close to what the designer was looking
for, I'd like to hear about it.  I just finished re-reading Pournelle's
Falkenberg's Legion books and noticed the 15mm sniper rifle used by the
Royal Spartan Army and their Helot foes.  The 15mm rounds ignored the
`improved Kevlar' used and was effective against light armored vehicles.
Does the FF&S designs live up to this?

GRIDLOCK (n), term denoting Congressional resistance to the President's
agenda.  This term may be used ONLY when Clinton's agenda is opposed by
Congressional Republicans.  Not to be confused with "healthy disagreement",
an otherwise identical situation that exists when Clinton is opposed by
Congressional Democrats (i.e., Majority Whip David Bonior,D-MI). See NAFTA,
Health Care Reform, National Performance Review, etc.
