So a few questions came up about ranged combat in my last game and it's been a while since I've run a game using automatic weapons, I was hoping that someone on the list could help refresh my memory on the subject.
Let's say you are shooting an AK-47. The basic books lists it as having a Rcl of -1 and it can fire 10 shots a round. Am I correct in saying that this would require the shots to be divided into 3 groups, (say 4, 3, and 3 shots), each requiring a separate skill roll. The first roll would be at -1 (the Rcl of the AK-47). The Second group would be at +5 (-2 for Rcl, +7 for the Acc). The Third group would also be at +5 (-3 for Rcl, +7 for the Acc, +1 from successive group aiming bonus). Next Round, the Fourth group would also be at +5 (-4 for Rcl, +6 for the Acc, +2 from the successive group aiming bonus) and the Fifth group is at +5 as well due to the +3 aiming bonus. After that the skill roll should drop off by -1 per group because the character has reached the maximum successive group aiming bonus of +3 but the Rcl is going to continue to add -1 to hit per group. Have I described this correctly? If anyone is wondering the character in question has an 18 skill and a very high ST.
