Hi,
Even though a laspistol is capable of firing through a wall,
its structural damage would be negligible. A steel reinforced
concrete wall can take alot of holes in it before it cumbles,
and even if an outer section of a wall crumbles, the steel
skeleton is unharmed. Giving direct weapons the ability to
harm buildings defies logic, and would make all buildings
deathtraps. Noone would enter them, as they'd be gone in the
first turn, shot to pieces by every infantry stand within range.

[Codex Battlezone: Cityfight; Designer's note in p10.] :P :P :P Frankly, I didn't have the faintest idea that laspistols were such terrible weapons before reading a copy of the Cityfight. ;) LOL!
