Actually the odds are slightly highter.
  4 out of 6 + (1 reroll gets 4 out 6 + (1 reroll gets 4 out of 6...))
but 
close enough. Theoreticaly, any beam weapon has infinite damage
potential 
(if it keeps rolling 6's). I have managed to do over 6 points of damage 
from a beam at long range (I think it was just before I failed that Life

Support systems check and rolled a 1 for turns to fix it, and failed).
