I got the target number down to a 2! before other modifiers applied. (Ares
alpha has 2 points inherent recoil comp & can take barrel-mount
accessories, thus a IGV4 can be added. Add a shock pad and 7 strength to
completely negate the recoil, and a smartgun brings the TN to a 2.)
Now, admittedly, this is an extreme case (not too many weapon/accessory
combos can apply 7 points of recoil comp before strength) but with IGV4,
shock pads, and strength mods running around, even 6round aimed bursts are
possible without too much effort.
But that's not the point. Bugs are faster, and clean up in HtH. Charge the
guy. Sure he drops one, maybe two, before the bugs get there, but then he's
hosed.
