Basically, yeah. When we were discussing this, the Heroes liked it this way, so...

It makes him a high risk, high reward figure. He could kill himself quickly if you're not careful, but then you do get 7 attacks in a turn, if you have the thugs.
I don't see Scarface (or the Ventriloquist, for that matter) as a particularly high-risk sort of guy, though. He's not going to get close to the fight - or even in range of the fight - unless absolutely necessary.

Personally speaking, bumping his normal range up to 5 (though I guess it works at 1, too, I imagine he'd never be unable to use the gun) and just allowing up to three attacks with his Tommy Gun makes more sense to me.
