[@Ordure]

Okay I'm thinking the Tri-Beam is his mid range weapon, but I'd still like to give him something long range if that'd be alright? Maybe a Laser Sniper? That way he can rely on a steady stream of ammunition and what not, and won't have to carry two different types.

I take it that we could buy ammo though, the civilised areas might not have it lying around but surely there'd be arms merchants?

I want to try and avoid power armour so that's fine by me, nearly all of my game characters have been power armoured tanks. I want to try something new with this character.
