SG Great War/WW2

Adrian said:
Tommy Guns are short range and low-power (compared to, say, a proper
assault rifle or a battle rifle).  They use pistol ammunition.	They
would properly be used as a submachinegun.  Something like FP 2 or 3 and
Impact d6.  And probably range limits too - like they could only fire in
the first 2 rangebands or something.

[Tomb] Disagree. Imp D8 (I'd considered D10, but D8 reflects the fact
that they are stopped by armour). A .45 ACP from a Thompson does a _lot_
of tissue damage. (Take a look at how they rate heavy pistol in SG2).
I'd say FP3 - SMGs are rather scary close up. I'd say close only since
that's what SMGs now have IIRC? in SG. 

Also, I think characterizing the .303 and .30-06 on the same impact
scale is interesting. I'd have said D8 and D10 respectively. 

I rate the M2 Browning as 2D6 (or D12) FP and 2d6* or 2d8* or d16
Impact. RFACs are crappy against infantry and this weapon is not.

If you want to reflect differences in era, I'd upshift body armour by a
level. A d4 fatigue is probably D6 versus WW1 weapons. A D8 partial
armour is probably D10, etc. Modern armours defeat antique rounds better
than normal ones. (I disagree with Adrian's appraoch because a .45 ACP
does a lot of damage to an unarmoured figure and his approach doesn't
handle that well).

The Bren should have better FP than the BAR because of accuracy as well.
