Depends on the ammo.  The "advanced" rifles (binary
propulsion, ETC, Liquip prop, etc) or heavy rifles
(7.62 NATO) would be d10, but small rounds (7.62x39,
5.56 NATO, etc) would be d8.

I take this two ways.  If the weapon is rotary or
whatever, then d10 FP is fine.	If it's a GPMG with an
AG like the M-240 (spelled "FN MAG" in Europe) or
somesuch then it shoots d10 FP with an AG and d8
without.

Hehehehehe. . .

I like Imp d12*, HMMV.	But I'd also say FP d10 since
they have a lower ROF.

Really that's more appropriate for a vehicle-mounted
rotary LMG/MMG.

Gah!

Yeah.
