Yeah, there WERE a heck of a lot of them,  you might
want to waive the rule on the limit of # of weapons,
and make it Class 6, 12xGMS/L, and that DF weapon a
class 1.

In the scene where a Cylon flips to face Starbuck, and
it shows some sort of barrelled weapon, but can't gewt
a lock and doeasn't fire.  We don't know WHAT that
weapon is, so I guessed a HEL.

They definitely struck me as bigger that a Viper, but
not by much -  most of the difference was wingspan.
