This is where a vaguely realistic system is a big help. Most players
already know that getting shot up with an SMG is a bad idea, so this
helps them to make good decisions for their PCs while they're still
finding their feet. It's a lot harder in non-generic fantasy, or SF,
to get across this sort of core knowledge.
