RE: [OFFICIAL] FMA range thoughts....

I like it more than the artifical range bands; no tables to look up to
check
what the range is.

Now if we can just import the SGII range bands/range die over, that
leaves
no new rules to learn for firecombat...
Regular snap firing AR (x1.0):	8/16/24/32/40 = 80m at open targets
Elite snap firing pistol (x0.5): 6/12/18/24/30 = 60m at open targets
Then again, maybe this makes the ranges a bit far unless we use x0.25
for
pistols or only allow fire while there is a valid FP die (Which would
drop
the last band or two off, depending on the weapon).
Regular snap firing AR (x1.0):	8[d10]/16[d8]/24[d6]/32[d4]/40[miss] =
64m
