There's also the issue of MA's vitals/veins/skull/eye bleeding rules and LT's Torniquets and Blood Vessel Pressure rules being written without much, if any, thinking about one another. And the fact that neither was in Bio-Tech. In a way, Low-Tech Techniques are superior to the things available without LT, which is not a good design.
