One option I thought might work but haven't mentioned before, is to
treat
the stinger power as the weapon mass equivalent using the usual 12"
bands.
ie: the SV uses 8 power into one stinger gives the equivalent of a class
4
beam (4d, 3d, 2d, 1d).
This let's the SV keep their range advantage, but reduces the problem
with
the point blank i-put-everything-into-the-one-stinger problem.

Or maybe adjust the stinger bands to 10" and see how that works out in
testing instead of 9".
