help me reverst my strict Gm's house-rule, img magn v3 + combat Options

[PlutoNick]

I started playing Shadowrun 1.5 months ago. After 5 sessions, our GM rules out the rule that Cyber eyes image magnification reduces target numbers as an image scope would. So instead of having a 2 target number in medium range, my weapon specialist has 4.

In essence he loses part of his combat expertise, his years of training went down the drain, not to mention his 7000 nuyen of image magn cyberware. Instead of being Hardboiled's Tequila, Die Hard's John McLane, instead of being the neoWilliam Tell v2.0, Robin Digital Hood, he becomes one third of the three stooges, bozzo the clown if you like.

Furthermore, he says that any shot in long range suffers a -1 penalty in power rating.

Please, help me reverse his decision. Tell me some good points in order to make him understand, to see the light. If anything else fails, humiliate him so when he sees this threat, he will bow his head in humiliation and make US weapon specialists, the pride of UCAS that of any evil megacorp will fear.
