Would it complicate things too much if weapons had properties
other than a straight FP rating? For example, increased or
reduced range bands, or reducing effects of cover (e.g.,
advanced fusion guns with explosive shots).

This might allow more advanced/primitive weapons without
having to extend the 1-5 scale.
