Hoi.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I know you will...), but don't the
RBB rules say that in burst fire the firer adds one to targent number per
bullet in the burst, first one per action is free? Does that mean that a
ten round burst is at +9 to target number? Our troll rigger has three
vindicators on his VW Kombi. Each comes with Gyro-Stabilization 1, and
the first bullet is free. That means his target numbers are up +8 when
he fires, even at a standstill?!? I realize he'll do 22D12 when he hits,
but...
Of course, he could invest in some more stabilization...

By the same token, the street sam Ms. Johnson has smartgun, gas-
vents 4, and shock pads. That gives her -5 on her recoil penalty, right?
So her target number is 4, say, -2 for smart, and doesn't increase until
the burst in which she fires her seventh bullet? Oh, god, and all that
on top of and HK227 w/ APDS ammo... Two three-round bursts with a
target number of 2, base damage of 8S3, -1 to target ballisitic armor and
an HK227 specialization of 8!! I guess that would make combat fast...

GM: Action 1, you two are dead. Action 2, you two are dead. O.K.,
who feels like watching the Simpsons?

Just askin....
