        While I agree with most of your post, these guys do measure
up pretty evenly with World Eaters since they have guns - really nice
guns. While these Beserkers don't have squat.

is a good point - so they don't need the movement bonus. Trading
your heavy weapons for a +2 CAF is a pretty even deal, IMHO.
