That's what the GM ruled in that adventure, yes. AFAIK it doesn't say in
the rulebook whether they can or cannot, but to me it makes sense. In
game terms, my character just stood a few meters away from the vampire
and delayed his action until the vampire tried *anything* after which he
fired a burst into him. This while the other PCs were trying to find
silver knives to stick through his heart :)
