So then it has to be given a firepower rating. I'd say D12, or do you
now have to classify it as a heavy weapon and give it firecon?

hmm not sure on that, I think though it isn't just for close combat but
for weapons that cause a panic check.

I ment that. :)

What kind of armour would you give it? I assume you mean list it in the
D6 roll that you make for that. We have a house rule on exposed weapons
on Gears that instead of a mobility hit, they take a weapons hit on
exposed weapons with a D6 armour rating. Weapon is randomly chosen if it
fails.
