     Not a viable concept, you are trying to trade a (Quasi) stratigic
non
point/mass value non-item for a mass/point tacitical advantage.

(I realize my 'point of view' is much different than yours.
Put simply, the trade of 10% greated detection range for 
10% more weapons is not even worth consideration if I was the GM)
