In 1st edition, weapons had:Speed factorsHit modifications depending on armor worn by opponentsDamage vs medium andDamage vs large.These disapeared over the editions and we kept either the best damage of a weapon or the average (or something close to the average) depending on the rule of cool. But some of the damage was taking all the above factors into account and these factors do exist anymore. This leaves us with strange damage that do not (and are not) look to be balanced but once were (more or less, but 1ed was simulationist much more so than later editions). Sometimes, knowing where things come from can explain a lot.</blockquote>
