Stargrunt Support Weapons

If I understand rightly, in SG2, if you are firing a support weapon 
on its own, you get a firepower die, and a quality die. If you fire 
using firecontrol, you roll quality and fire control. 

Let's say I've got a decent support weapon with D10 firepower 
(although using a bipod or some such), and a D8 quality die. That's 
fairly dangerous as an attack. 

Change that to an RFAC/1 which is actually probably more dangerous in 
a real world sense (a .50 M2HB on a NHT or a M234 Gatling on a NHT), 
and it becomes less effective instead of more (like I think it 
should). You roll fire control die (D4 or D6) and your quality die 
(D8). Does anyone notice how much weaker this is? Wowzers! 

Perhaps one should be rolling firepower die too.....
