The number of R5 SF is indeed very, very rare.
I would love to see an army of nothing but these, deploying in the rearguard, and peppering everyone to death before they can get anywhere near.
but they suck at extreme range i think, and unless it's in the city, it takes ages to recruit them, draft or no draft.
unless i misunderstood tim (from a while back), longer range doesn't mean they cause more damage closer than someone with shorter range.
ie.. exact same stat shooting at exact same range (let's say 4), with exact same roll, a max range 4 cause same damage as a max range 5.
