I do like the idea of scoring 10% of your hits per Rcl (With a further amendment that you always hit with at least one round per multiple; otherwise you get situations where you need to make your to-hit roll by 27 in order to hit with a double-tap), but it isn't without issues. The most notable would be that it makes RoF bonuses odd. If you use RoF bonuses, firing more rounds (Once you're past 10, using the "at least one per margin" ruling, at least) makes it more likely to hit with all your rounds. If you don't, then firing more rounds is no more likely to get one on-target than firing only one.
