Design notes: The laser sight is on the FF&S version for two reasons. One
is to have the targeting advantage. The other is the added weight. With
out it, Recoil jumps to 3.
The FF&S version is twice the weight, but carries 5 more rounds, has a
recoil of 2, rather than 3. It does the same damage with a slightly better
range. The combination of Laser sight, lower recoil and larger magazine
allow for more accurate substained fire.
