12" range *is* the standard rule for FB needle beams...

If, which I currently believe <g>, the above multi-arc human needle
beam is
OK balanced internally, then the Pulser-N should have the same range
(ie.,
12mu). The Pulser is generally lighter than the human weapon (for the
same number of arcs), but its higher cost (5xMass instead of 3xMass)
makes up for that.
