This sums up the problem of any generic rules set... some
groups/settings will have certain styles that use weapons in a way not
in keeping with the balancing done for the costs.
As is always the case... if you don't like something change it - but
point costing on potential is always going to look odd if you start
adding additional constraints.
Metaphor time, imagine Cross Dimensions as paper-rock-scissors... but in
your setting, you don't allow paper - suddenly the balance is all gone.

For my big campaign I re-wrote all the weapons systems out in one place
(still up on my website if you want to compare) - took a long time, but
I tweaked the costs of certain things here and there.
