Yeah, my take is they're about the same, also. Call it same weapons,
different
names, for FT?

And how 'bout them crazy...uhh, nevermind. It'd be a spoiler for those
who
won't get to see it for a while.  :-(

Straczynski, but he goes by jms.

THe Lurker's Guide is an *excellent* source of info on the B5 universe,
but
it's not always 100% accurate. I've found on occassion some entries in
it
that are listed/labelled as 'fact' as not being the case, and a couple
times
later jms post would contradict it. But they are few and far between;
the
guy does do a bang-up job with it.

Kosh was a lover, not a fighter.   ;-)
