Here's a back of the envelope damage profile comparing average damage of

Beams 4,5, & 6 with the Grazer A, B, C as I understand them (vs. 
unscreened)

	MU	0-12		12-24	24-36	36-48	-60	-72
Beam 4	3.3		2.4		1.6		.82
Beam 5	4.1		3.3		2.4		1.6	       
.82
Beam 6	4.9		4.1		3.3		2.4	       
1.6	.82
Grazer A	1.7		1.7		1.2		1.2
Grazer B	3.5		3.5		3.5/2.3 	2.3	
       2.3
Grazer C	6.9		6.9		6.9		4.6	
       4.6     4.6

The A is roughly equivalent to the Beam 4 - Its superiority at lonvest 
range IMO makes up for the weaker performance closer in. The B and C are

both vastly superior to Beams 5 and 6 respectively. The C blows 
everything out of the park.
