(Please note that their IS CURRENTLY NOT ANY Firepower SAW of  d12 - max
is Superior Firecon is d10)

Ha ha, here is where the discussion with Phil went comparing RFAC and
SAW. 

As I understand it the range bands of the turret mounted weapon become
12 inches when using a Firecon. So we have a trade off - Firepower
versus range bands. Consider a Greeen or Regular troopie using a d8 SAW.
FP d8, Qual d6/d8 and the target is at 6/12/18/24/32 inches for the
Green and 8/16/24/32/40 inch range bands. 

Using Enhanced Fire Con - Firer is Firecon d8, Qual d6/d8 and Target
Range bands are 12/24/36/48/60. Now which is less effective??

Que?
