Default Re: [house rule] Quick RoF Fix question

The reason I'm moving towards the 5% per Margin of Recoil is that it's really rare to make an attack roll by 20+, and so although the "more shots into the air means a greater percentage hitting the target" still exists, it really doesn't come up under normal play.

But getting 5% of your shots fired per Margin of Recoil means that guns that fire huge number of shots - hundreds or thousands - have hit rates in the 10-25% range, not in the 10% or less.

It works out that if you can hit with 3 rounds from a 12 round burst of a 7.62mm rifle, the same aim point hits with about 15 to 20 rounds from a 100 round burst from a 7.62mm 6-barrel minigun.
