Aside from IC preference, do any of you have an actual game mechanic to make carbines any more useful than normal assault/battle rifles in game? They suffer a number of negatives, including lower power, lesser range, so on, but as far as I see, there isn't any benifit to their smaller size.
While typing this, I though of perhaps imposing a +1(maybe +2 for extreme situations) on anyone using a large weapon (full size AR and up) in close quarters combat, such as your average corridor, apartment, and so on. How does that sound? I think it's a little harsh, but that's the way the d6 tumbles, literally. |
