Nice reasoning, but it's clearly listed as D6 FP (or D3 in
the case of the pulse lasers) in the armies book. All vortexes and
megacannons are listed as 1 FP.
No matter what is handed down from the designers as the right
answer, I don't care as long as the Pulsar isn't treated any
differently from the other multi-SHW SHWs (like the Dom energy blast,
or the Imp's plasma annihilator). Anything else just doesn't make
sense.
