+1 to that. In particular because many times the no account guardsmen is a slumdog civilian that was forced into a ship and thrown against the enemy with a flashlight and paper armor. Every 40K players knows that the main IG's motto is expendable forces.
Also +1 to that any range conversion would benefit Samus as well, if not more. It's also not very pratical in a video game to have realistic range just like in TT, but being missile-based, that should give it a pretty damn good "real" range.
