	If I gotta give it energy *and* ammo, and it's going to cost me an extra
+50% modifier for energy damage, why would I bother?  Especially since the
damage done is independent of whether I use energy or ammo.

	I don't have the book here with me at work, but we'll say that the
modifier for using just physical damage is +25% and the modifier for using
energy damage is +50%.  If there's not some advantage to using energy
damage over physical damage, why would I ever take the extra point cost to
use energy damage?
