I have encountered something I don't understand in the SRII rules, and I
was wondering if someone more familiar could explain.

I'm on page 93, in the example of full-auto recoil. Fourth paragraph (of
the example), it says "a total of 4 points of recoil modification." Fine.

5th para. "The three-round burst qualifies for 3 points of recoil, which
the weapon compensates for." Fine.

6th para. "Now, however, six rounds have left the weapon, so the recoil
modifier is 6. The weapon compensates for 3, leaving 3." Hey, shouldn't
that be, "The weapon compensates for *4*, leaving 2"?

Similarly, 7th para. Why not "The recoil compensation is now 6 (10-4)."?

Why is the recoil compensation being limited to 3?
