That's my contribution to weapons design - make sure that rifles do slightly more damage than pistols.

they do (atleast they have the potential - by better penetration score - to) according to my rules.

You could also look to T4 for inspiration, especially The Emperor's Arsenal.

If you do so the general trend is:
</font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">Low TL light pistol 1d
Low TL heavy pistol 2d
Med TL body pistol 2d
Med TL pistol 2d
Med TL heavy pistol 3d
High TL pistol 3d</pre>[/QUOTE]

Oh, and looking at the CT first edition average damages, perhaps their translation into second edition should have been:
</font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">body pistol 1d
auto pistol 2d
revolver 2d
carbine 2d
smg 2d</pre>[/QUOTE]note that the body pistol damage should actually be 1d3, but that's just silly
