Default BunchaBullets

RoF#* resolution

A weapon with a RoF of 9* is noted as firing three 3-round bursts.
Is this resolved as:
RoF3 and each hit is 3 bullets,
or
RoF9.

It's RoF 9. If you want less than that, you're limited to RoF 1-3 (semi-automatic), or multiples of 3.

Yes. Always make one roll* using the full effective RoF. The concept of "resolving each burst" doesn't really exist in 4e.

* Unless spraying fire at multiple targets. Then it's one roll per target, using the effective RoF for that target, of course.

Well, if you had Extra Attack 2 with Multistrike, you could technically make those 3 independent 3 round attacks... even against separate targets. It's Gun-Fu fur sure, but I've had it done in my table, and sure looks impresive ;)
