Absolutely. UA should make it relatively easy for a two-bit punk with a
revolver to get in a lucky, lethal shot on Eponymous as he walks out of
the bathroom. But it _shouldn't_ be easy to do something fancy -- like
knocking someone out -- reliably. There are games out there where
everyone ends up walking around with, say, tasers (or something),
because the "stun" rules are so open that it's easy to incapacitate
someone with a taser and then pointblank them with a pistol.
