Somehow, I can't agree: IIRC 6M2 meant, that you had to have 2 succeses 
to increase the damage level by one (three with 6M3, etc.). So having a 
low number at the end seems to be much more usefull than a high one 
(=more succeses needed). So why should a low number (=more powerfull) 
be converted into a less powerfull 3rd Ed. weapon?
I don't think, that there's a generel conversion rule, I would just use 
the according 3rd Ed. weapons instead.
