Is it worthwhile to investigate this perception ?
what would it take to track ave damage per weapon type in a game?
would that be worth while to KNOW the graser 1's did x damage total and 
y damage per attack  (and average damage per attack would have been z)

I know that tactics affect weapon effectiveness, but this would let 
people know that when the dice were fickle and when it was just perception..
