As I sit here becoming more and more stressed over the LSAT's
tomorrow, my mind wonders to my most recent questions...

For those who possess knowledge about guns in real life-
Can a clip have different rounds in it? ie Can you alternate
an APDS bullet with an Explosive Round in the *same* clip?

If this does work, how would you folk calculate the
damage from a burst fire of alternating rounds?

Does an ally get the fetish bonus when their boss makes them
take the drain?

Anyone ever design a Passwall spell? If so could you drop
me the design- I need the spell for SR I.

Well, I guess I should retire to stare at my bedroom
ceiling.

This is a very common tactic. For example, you load every 5th round as a
tracer round.

Yes one can alternate differnt rounds in a clip, with in reason.
In real life my father fought in Nam and this was a common practice.
