Actually lasguns shoot 144 feet(aprox) in 40K acording to the 1 inch = 2
yards in Rogue Trader, and if epic is 6mm and the troops are about 6 feet
tall then 1mm = 1 foot. So lasguns would have a range of 14.4 cm. I'm
not attempting to nit-pick, just making an asumption with given info. Not
that comparing the two means anything. Epic is mostly representational
when it comes to actual models and distances and 40K uses two different
scales: one for model size and one for ranges(like most wargames).
