Plasma & Fusion Guns = Destructive?

[apoc527]

Given the AP effects of fast moving projectiles and certain types of lasers, can anyone think of a reason why it would be unfair to apply the Destructive (Super, Mega, Ultra, etc) quality from Hammer's Slammers powerguns to standard Traveller plasma and fusion guns (at least at the personal and vehicular level)?

It makes sense! :twisted:

Because they're already destructive enough?

Yeah they are pretty massively destructive already. You've got, the cover affiliation, the radiation hit, pretty gruesome without turning them into power gun lite.

I like to keep the weapons spread out, so that there are the broadest ranges of effects possible. Otherwise, why have more then one weapon?

I was thinking really in terms of vehicle weapons, but then I looked up the Fusion Z damage of 28d6 and thought...ok, that's pretty nasty. Still, if vehicles from Military Vehicles are 150+ armor, you NEED the Destructive quality to burn through armor!
