FT-Weapons

This idea I wish to share came from reading the exodus project webpage
(I am 
going to try the fuel rules soon, which at first sight I like the look
of).

I have some questions I would like to raise concerning some ideas for 
weapons that require comment.

K-Guns.

In a setting using just vector movement, no sheilds, no thruster pushes
(a 
la exodus), are K-Guns over or under priced/massed? (thinking of
allowing 
K-Guns as spinal mount weapons, with 1 mass giving 10 rounds).

Pulsar derivative

A pulsar has 1D6 at long range, 3D6 at medium, and 6D6 at close range.
My 
idea was for a gattaling gun/mass driver/mini missile launcher that has
the 
same dammage effect as a pulsar, but comes with ammo (at a rate of 10
rounds 
per mass). A limited burst can fire upto long range, does 1D6 dammage,
and 
uses 1 round, a medium burst fires upto medium range, does 3D6 dammage,
and 
uses 2 rounds, and a continuos burst can only be fired at close range,
does 
6D6 dammage, and uses 4 rounds. This weapon can also be used for PDS, 
rolling 1Die as normal, but uses 1 round doing as such (not requiring 
firecon in PDS).

Notes-
Dammage die read exactly as beam/pulsar die.
Range band/burst identical to pulsar range bands (continuos=close/C mode

pulsar).
Dammage increases as range drops, unlike pulsars.
A limited burst can be fired at any range, but still only causes 1D6 
dammage.

PSB-
The reason for the different ammo rates and dammage is that the
recoil/grav 
eddies* prevents the firing of longer burst as the range increases. You
can 
fire a longer burst if you want, but you will not hit anything more than
the 
shorter burst will.

*Think HH style interference preventing you from firing more mini
missiles 
(you could fire them, but you would be firing them blind/at random).

Any comments/feedback?
