Ok, guys. This is getting silly. IMNSVHO, there are already ways of
providing supressive fire. It's called blind fire, which is +8 to target
numbers. The reasoning behind this is; no matter how much you say you are
clearing foilage, you are not TRYING to clear foilage-- you are trying to kill
folks. So, to be realistic, take normal recoil mods, fire however many shots
you want, walk fire this way and that, add in light or heavy protective cover,
and you have a ready-made solution, without having to spend the time or energy
involved in coming up with something already provided for. After all, what you
are trying to do it hit tht target, despite whatever you call it.
