It seems that they mainly looked at one source and said "hmm, that range is 
listed so it must be right" instead of checking multiple sources and seeing 
what jived the most. I mean, it's got cool pics and all, but it isn't of 
much use (need I even mention that the damage amounts don't match up with 
the damage amounts for the same weapons as given in their other books?). On 
the other hand, just about all the weapons are illustrated so, after you 
fix the stats, you've got a clear drawing of what it looks like to use.
