In this case, it doesnt create any fractional accounting, and though I
have to look to be certain, this may be the only weapon it might work
for.  I don't see the problem here.

huh????????  You gots six fire arcs, and cant fire into the rear-most
(unless you use the optional rule)  Why not take advantage of the cost
situation to make better use of your money?

Changing the design rule has little overall effect.  It doesnt apply in
general to most weapons.  It not like a proposal that adds another 250
die rolls and a set of charts to the game.
