Happens?
My suggestion to handle it would be to figure the damage code as
usual, and the resistance TN for each type of bullet. Then divide the
resistance dice appropriately. After figuring damage, apply the damage
appropriately to each track.
For example; an SMG doing 6m using 2 gels and 1 apds burst against
somebody with a 6 body and wearing a long coat (4/2) has 3 net successes
after the "dodge" roll (per sr3).
The target rolls 4 dice against 2d (stun) and 2 dice against 4d
(physical). Lets say there is a total of 5 successes. That is 2 net
successes, reducing damage back to moderate. 2/3 of that is stun, 1/3
physical. So the target takes 3 stun boxes, and one physical.
This seems complex, but I think it is very sensible; it keeps the
burst as one attack, and the resistance as one test; you just makes a
portion of the roll against each type of damage, then apply the damage
proportionately to the proper track.
This would work well for other "mixed damage" situations, as well,
such as 2 handed weapon attacks where the two weapons do very different
damage (stun / physical, or electroshock and normal).
