Hi there. A while back someone brought up the topic of Autofire rules and
said they had their own set of house rules. Well I came up with my own I
would like some criticism from the people who have fired real automatic
weapons (I have not).

Instead of staging the weapons damage up for every three bullets and adding
one to the power for ever bullet I have decided to give an extra 2 dice for
every three bullets. IMHO (and I may be wrong) when you fire a burst or
full auto you have more chance of hitting that's why you get 2 extra dice.
I also believe that if you get hit by more than 1 bullet you will take more
damage, this also the reason for 2 dice, this way if you make 2 successes
you do more damage ie hitting with more bullets.

One of the reasons I came up with these house rules is cause if someone is
shooting at a vehicle with Armor of 8 with an UZI that does 6M IIRC and is
going full auto he does a damage of 16D meaning his bullets penetrate the
armor but if it was only one bullet then the damage would have been null.


Number 2: Damn I forgot my second question. Oh well when I remember I'll
write back... damn BTL chips.
