If Spraying Fire weren't already problematic, it would be reasonable to use that for playing an automatic weapon across a target. But Spraying Fire just breaks this whole thing the opposite direction.

I don't think it's simple either but I also can't see it being as hard as the combination of switching aimpoints
and attacking more as with a melee weapon. Especially when recovering from an attack and switching aimpoints is often harder with a melee weapon then a firearm.
Yeah if you let people using spraying fire for targets on a single person is too much since there wouldn't be any penalty.

I'd like that too, but I'll take what I can get.

If you are using the 1 yard target thing then you have to ignore the size of the target in general. Otherwise it makes no sense at all.
