Absolutely, but I figured it was a bit like putting wave cannon in FTII,
you see it in the genre.

Mind you, if Herbert could PSB reasons for knife fighting in Dune, I
guess
you could explain the need of the Rosen Ritters' skill on Isenlohn, not
that I'D want to try...

By the way, in boarding actions, I'd assume that the receiving crew
would
be at least suited, and that, though not full PA, would be some
protection
against standard shotgun blasts. Now, if you're going to shoot a shotgun
like some other gun, then it IS some other gun in the granularity of SG,
right?

With a load of 00, I always figured my quick firing, short-barrelled 12
gauge was a small caliber, low muzzle-velocity machine pistol.

Course, I'se just a simple vacc-head.
