Yes - you auto hit / they have a 60 degree arc which makes them a little
more difficult to target, as in the show they rarely miss at close range
as 
they
are Nearly Fast As Light weapons.

For shadows you could do the same but with no range mod :-/

BTW no answer on my cascade damage question, is in 'greater than' or
'greater 
than or equal' for cascade damage? Rules say former, the rules example
the 
latter.
