Althoug fields of fire gives a contary example.
I give: +1 power per round (as rules)
: + 1 staging per 3 bullets with extra stagins becoming
deadly and 1 past, deadly and 2 past e.t.c.
This better reflects the devasting power of getting hit lots and
means even trolls cannot soak full on hit from miniguns (eg 7S + 15
runs = 22D and 4 auto stagings) though dodging (equivalent to diving
out of the line of fire just in time (you cannot dodge bullets,
though dodging the direction that miniguns pointing is possible,
though it might not help much) can save you.
I tend to use net successes or stagings past deadly for a guide to
dramatic effect as the poor NPC goes flying because as FASA say this
can rather neatly kill PC's (it might be realistic but there is to be
bourne in mind that this is just a game a killing a character someone
likes is to be avoided, though visits to Docwagon have been know and
1 encounter once killed 3 PC's perm after they left a corp over 3
minutes at the bodies before the wagon was due. - oops)
