Keep in mind that these numbers are entirely arbitrary; it would be a good idea to rewatch the entire series again and see where the contradictions are to be found before undertaking this project.

    Well, that certainly throws a wrench into my plans, since not only have I not seen the cartoons in years, I also don't own them... What makes you say that the stats are arbitrary (other than KS's known proclivity for doing what ever the heck he wants? *grin*)

Thanks,

Sorry it took so long to respond.

Anyway, the reason why I say this is because, as you watch the video, you'll see that the weapons used and the damage they cause (in some cases their actual operation is entirely made up in the rpg) is not scaled to their statistics in the game. I'd suggest devising your own baseline standard and then working with that from watching the videos, if you can ever manage to beg/borrow/steal a set. I've watched the Invid series many times and I've never agreed with how most of the equipment jibes.
