Basicly my reason to avoid non ammo charged weapons is that it is
completly unrealistic, how they get the energy or round to fire??? About
non interim 'ammo' even if can be useful would need a reactor on the
weapon :P, the point is that the user havent have to manufacture ammo to
use it, something in my opinion is wrong from the gameplay viewpoint.

And I agree it simplify a lot the interface. (Simplicity is the key to
understanding), and a earlier finished game :D
