Raph said Improved damage significantly on some weapons but he gave no examples of what the damage would be. I was wondering what you thought the damage for all the weapons would be?

Here is what I think are good damage for all the heavy weapons please tell me if you think mine are too high or low.

I think the flame thrower and acid rifle will be 200-600 because they are the only weapons we get specials for.

I think the Rocket Launcher should be 500-1500 this would be good damage for fighting walkers.

I think that all 3 beam cannons should have 600-1600 damage because the cannons are preety much the same except for the type of damage they do.

I think those numbers woould work well for attacking vehicles but please write your own and tell me what you think of mine.
