This has two effects:

First, the Mass result using the FB design rules is the same as my
(Class
+ 1) Mass scheme for railguns, and has the same problems - ie, R1 and R2
are not only a lot weaker than the bigger weapons, but also than many
non-railgun weapons, without having any real range or set of targets
where they are prominent :-(

Second (and worse, IMO), it makes the railguns *much* more vulnerable to
treshold checks. In effect, each of your guns has to survive two
treshold
rolls in each check - OK, it isn't quite that bad since you can assign
the firecons as you wish each turn (I hope, at least!), but still the
survivability of the railguns drops dramatically :-(
