RE: (DS): Systems per Class

I beg to differ here, but only because I'm a pain the rear. :)
The M-16 had quad .50 cals.  Given that they shoot down aircraft, and
*do* 
have the capability of engaging lightly armored vehicles at shorter 
ranges, I'd call 'em RFAC/1s.

Still, that does give 4 class 1 weapons on a size 2 track if you go that

way, which breaks the rule.

However, as Indy stated, part of the elegance of Jons rules is 
*abstraction*.	The M-16 was an AA vehicle. I'd go with a basic ADS and
a 
second RFAC (coaxially mounted).  The ADS fires against ground targets
as 
an RFAC, so a pair of them adequately covers the added firepower for my 
purposes, though clearly I would not be representing it as 4 weapons.

No rules are perfect, and in DSII, I think that "the intended combat 
effect" is often more to be sought than the issue of "how many guns can
I 
cram on this sucker?" mentality.
