Even though the PDS and Scatter Gun are more of a defensive weapon I
still
consider them a weapon.  Besides each of these can be used in a minor
offensive roll as well and as such it would be opening a potential loop
hole
for people to exploit to allow them to fire in any mode through the
shroud.
This is in addition to Oerjan's observation about targeting sensors
being
affected going out of the shroud.
