Oops... you're right. Misread an asterisk. You are right, the GAC/1 does
do
D12 x 2 damage to a point target on a major hit, while the Gauss SAW
only does
D12... 

I thought there was an asterisk beside the Gauss SAW but in fact it's on
the
Plasma Gun below it.

Yep. I agree, now that I see that I goofed. Thanks, Owen, for clearing
that
up.

Should just about kill THIS thread... *S*
