The RPGs and the TT do rather differ in this, the stuff I posted above is more relevant to the TT than the RPG.

Let's see:
Lasgun: range 100m, RoF S/3/-.
Autogun (read: assault/battle rifle): range 90m, RoF S/3/10.
Heavy Stubber (apparently what fills the GPMG/HMG role in their world): range 120m, RoF -/-/10.

A Round is 5 seconds long, which means that the most rapid-firing weapon has a cyclic rate of 2 rounds per second. And poor Steyr AUG A1 at TL8 has a ½D of 800 yards and an ability to make extreme shots at up to 3,500y . . .
