<grin> Of course, the trick is to just consider ground scale and model
scale to be completely different, i.e. 1" = 100 meters in ground scale,
while something 1" high in 1/300 scale would be 25 feet high in "real
life." But GW makes no comments to that effect anywhere that I've
found, and they seem to directly oppose it with their conversion from
WH40K rules, so....

While I'd say it is considerably harder to fire accurately in a
situation where you're being shot at (though I can't say I've ever
experienced it), I *really* hope you don't take Police Squad seriously.
(Unless this is a different Police Squad than the one with, um, Leslie
Neilson? I think?)
