I see your point about trigger-time. We just figured it was simpler to
treat 8 bullets over 8 simple actions as SA mode rather than four 2-bullet
FA bursts (complex actions). Perhaps we'll experiment with the latter
option so the gunner doesn't get the SA recoil bonus. *ponders*

I remember the example used in the BBB2 for FA fire had a guy firing
exactly 10 bullets at (I think) 3 gangers. Anyway it seemed like a good
number at the time.
