Doesn't strike me as a problem, technically. However, since it'll
probably
be more expensive, AND involve more knobs to mis-adjust, I'd imagine
it'd
still be in the hands of a squad's specialist rather than all the grunts
;)

I mean, they're _grunts_. Give things to them and they have a tendency
to
break. ;)

Of course, this does not in any way reflect on the excellent qualities
of
infantrymen. It reflects on the incapability of industry to produce
unbreakable stuff. NEARLY unbreakable doesn't cut it, unfortunately.

Cheers,
