After hours of running up and down the Kashyyyk caves and killing critters I gots me a +5 cyber arm and a +10 cyber arm. I did some testing with heavy weapons to see if it would work. I tested the Plasma Flamethrower, Flamethrower, Rocket Launcher, Lightening Beam Cannon, Heavy Acid Launcher (the... heavy one if I have the name wrong), the Proton Carbine and my Assault Bowcaster.
They all recieved the range bonus except the Plasma Flamethrower. However, the extra range did not show up on the target, I could mearly fire within the adjusted range while the target still conned "Out of Range". For example, with the LBC I could hit a target at 65m even though it conned "Out of Range" past 40m.
So the only weapon that failed the test was the Plamsa Flamethrower, our bread-and-butter master level weapon. The most important one.
Figures.
I will test the other commando weapons when I get a chance.... unless someone does it for me between now and Monday.
Edit: Oh, a thought just dawned on me... if the Proton Rifle was somehow craftable (either as a quest reward schematic or loot schematic) it could be crafted with enhancers such as Krayt Tissues, scopes, stocks, etc and thus could *actually* be a vialble and competative heavy weapon.

everything out side the guns range will say out of range, its true for all weapons.

I'm thinkin' the arms work the same as the powerups. They just don't work for the plasma ft...which is really stinkin weak imo.
And if the proton rifle were craftable I would be happy more for the ability to get lower SAC than the enhancements for damage. I usually see them with around 120 SAC I think...and costs like that make baby jesus cry.
