"Hmmm.	Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your

That is an excellent idea, and it never would have occured to me.  The
body
is a bit tricky, but I can either give it heaver armor, or allow it to
suffer multiple hits before it ceases to function.  Or both.

Fire would be treated as multiple support weapons firing at a single
target
-- splitting fire is not an option.  In close combat it should be
treated
as PA, and could take on at least two opponents at a time.  I don't
think
that it would be too unreasonable for it to cause Terror, too.

Okay, now I have to start painting the damn things....
