There's nothing wrong with genre emulation. One of my favourite RPGs
is _Feng Shui_ (Hong Kong action movies, essentially). I've been known
to use "plasma" guns from time to time, too.

I just find the juxtaposition of "bolt action rifles versus power
armour is not realistic" coupled to a game with plasma guns quite...
humorous.
