I once had a character who thought it was much fun to alternate
the ammo in his clips ingroups of 3 so that each burst would fire a
different ammo than the one before. But if I capped off a 10-round
full-auto burst, my scheme was screwed. So for burst fire, we just use
the damage code of what the majority of the rounds are. So for 2
explosive, 1 flechette, the damage is as explosive. 2 APDS, 1 needle,
damage is as APDS. Kind of oversimplified, but it makes things easier
than having to calculate the damage any other way.
