Increase the stargrunt armour by 1 vs missiles & IAVR (armour 1 becomes
armour 2)
This also works for Ablative armour vs lasers.

The APSW teams is the SG machine gunners, you work it by combining 1-2
standard infantry bases with the APSW base, this gives a SG squad of 10
men.  
All the other weapons smaller than towed guns or GMS/L are taken into
account as part of the infantry firefight & infantry close assault rules
(6" in DS is about equivalent to 40-50" in SG)

The stargrunt GMS/P would probably convert to an IAVR is DS, due to the
range classifications.	The only real difference is the SG GMS/P carries
multiple rounds, whereas DS presumes the infantry have an unlimited
supply of ammo (they've got boxes of ammo with them if in a fixed
position, or resupply from their transports.)
