Re: Doubt on Armour divisor (Firearms)
3i means each shot is loaded individually and takes 3 seconds per shot.
8 +1 means 8 shots in the magazine, but you can have 1 shot chambered already. Has nothing to with armor.

Re: Doubt on Armour divisor (Firearms)
1. The 'i' stands for "individual", and means that the weapon is reloaded one shot at a time, each round taking the time given. (Normally, the time is to reload an entire magazine.) See B270, under "Shots", or B373.
2. The n+1 notation for Shots means that the weapon can carry an extra round in the chamber. The reload time restores a full magazine of n shots. But you could also take more time to load that one extra round individually, for a total of n+1. The rule appears on HT88. (And despite my description, that paragraph doesn't mention any extra loading time.) I'm not sure where it's located in Basic. |

Re: Doubt on Armour divisor (Firearms)
I also didn't see a rule for how long it takes to load that extra round, whether in Basic or HT.
(If I had to make one up, I'd just use the typical revolver stat of "3i" for that lone round, whether that's actually chambering it on its own, or -- having loaded a magazine and worked the weapon to chamber that first round -- pulling the magazine, inserting an extra round, and re-inserting it. Which sounds a bit generous...) |

Re: Doubt on Armour divisor (Firearms)
Armor divisor only ever appears immediately after damage dice. 3d(2) pi, for example.
