sniping for fun and profit dean lol.

Nick plasma guns that are fired every turn are effectively firing on half power, hence the low damage, a full power every other turn shot will damage pretty much everything in the game that isnt protected by a shield or magic. Also dont forget bolters are rapid firing mini missiles so upgrading that so its firing armour piercing mini missiles should be nasty. Also special ammo is bought by the clip so for the cost of a plasm gun you'd get 112 bolter shots doing an average of 14 damage with pen 8, but the plasma gun would give you 120 shots of average damage 14 with a pen of 8 and the option of using extra ammo for some really hard hits.

also kraken rounds are technically rare while plasma gun ammo bottles can technically be filled by anyone with the know how and access to a plasma storage unit which since most imperial power plants are plasma based its a lot easy to replenish the plasma ammo :-p


Im reluctant to start using house rules for one specific weapon type because throws everything out of balance.
