I don't like it... too complicated... how about make it a 30cm range SHW
that does d3 Death Ray hits. There's your short range killing power. If
you want long range you take Pulsars. And it fits better into the
rules... too many house rules like this and you're back to 2nd. ed.
Nothing personal... I like the concept quite a bit.
