Actually, that was my point exactly.  "I" didn't argue
for realism, Laserlight did.  My reply was meant to
say that arguing for one variant of Vector because it
produces weapons fire that is more "Realistic" is
fraught with peril.  Arguing for it because it fits
the esthetic you're trying to recreate for a specific
setting, that I'm a lot more comfy with.

My first instinct was to say something regarding
codpieces, but I don't want to know if you find THOSE lovely.....
