Rifles

[Kealios]

I began building my first list last night - and immediately discovered that the "Rifle" held by the NCO of the Medium Tech HQ unit wasnt listed on the Medium Tech weapon list. I had to go back to the Low Tech weapon list to find it. A minor oversight, but I recommend adding it.

As a point of comment, I find it interesting that both the Pistol and the Rifle cost "0" points, when the Rifle has exactly double the Pistol's range, but same U/T and same damage. I know it's likely for simplicity, but the Rifle deserves to be 1 cost, like a Shotgun, at the least, IMHO.

Thanks!

Good catch , it should be the Assault Rifle on page 88! I will change it with the next update!

As you said it is for simplicity.

I am absolutely looking forward to it!

So to verify, the NCO in the Ballistic Armor Command Section on p.87 has an ASSAULT RIFLE, not a RIFLE.  Thanks

Also, Shotguns are also not listed in the Mid Tech Infantry Weapons list, but both the Commander and NCO may take one. Maybe add it to the list?

I'll look into it...
