The RT-publication "Hostile Aquisitions" has a weapon-upgrade meant to reduce the visibility of a Las shot. (Game Effect: a -20 penalty to see such a shot; only visible at half range now...whatever THAT means; Damaged is reduced by one).

This means, on the other hand, that weapons without these have a very visible beam. Which means that Las Weapons are not really a snipers best friend.

What I will do: I will simply assume that the DH "Long-Las" already has this option and that all of its effects are already included in the profil.I advise every DH player/GM to do the same and to use the rules mentioned above to reflect the modified "barely visible" Las shot.

Personally, I have always thought of the long-las as more of a marksman's weapon than a sniper's weapon.

Yeah, they're more or less the 'Accurised' rifle of the IG so a specialist rifleman can reach out a bit further in his platoon if they dont have any heavy weapons or dedicated sniper.
