Okay...see...
You have convinced me that laser weapons should have significant advantages at short range but not that all of the problems with hitting small things are the same as all of the problems with hitting far away things...
Small angular deviation is necessary in both cases but considering how many potentially ruinous factors
come up when shooting at long range I feel that there has to be more going on with range and size penalties.
Laser weapons are very much an edge case for GURPS' ranged combat rules...
