I see your point, but I would still vote for the option that allows for
more individuality. I suppose it depends on whether you think the "K"
armor
everything or not.

Excellent point here. Matthew has me convinced that the re-roll option
for
railguns is probably not the best idea, and in light of this, I'm
inclined
to agree.

The problem might be solved by varying the effective range brackets - as
Matthew suggested - to some multiple of the railgun class (he suggested
4/6/8, and I countered with 3/6/9).

I actually like criticism, so I'm pleased to get great input like this.
I'll get back to work...
