Errr...
Question: Where will you encounter fifteen gangers with shotguns?
Yes, mister A?
Mr A: Errrr... In AAA-class neigbourhood?
BZZZZT! WRONG! Mister B?
Mr B: Err... Barrens?
YES! Mister B won the prize!
Ehhh... In other words, pray tell, who will call 911 from Barrens?
Friendly city spirit? ;P
Shootouts like this happen in the Barrens. Gang wars, you know. Who
cares about a few punks, anyway? <grin>

Now, to address the issue of lethality - I agree SRII is not lethal
enough... Of course, I use a slew of house rules, like increasing the
damage done by light pistols to Moderate. Or like using net successes
to stage the damage beyond deadly, but not by 1 box - by 1 level.
<eGMg>
"Take a Deadly+Moderate. "
Of course, players do take advantage of this, too...
