It doesn't help the slugs hit, but you get the slug hit at the same roll as you would otherwise and you get shot hits too.

Re: I still want better rules for shotguns
You could use (RoF Bonus + 1) to determine the MoS for the first slug hit if you wanted to penalize it compared to shooting all slugs.

Re: I still want better rules for shotguns
The best way would be to treat each shell as a different attack that suffers a skill penalty equal to Rcl penalties of each previous round (using slug Rcl instead of shot Rcl), using a -2 skill penalty for each additional shot beyond the first to correct the math, and with each shot shell getting a +2 to its attack due to having 9 ROF. The shot shells would have one hit per point that the attack hits by. So a shot-slug-shot combination (with an average roll of 10 on a modified skill of 14) would have six shot hits on the first attack, no slug hit on the second attack, and no shot hits on the third attack.
And the Rapid Fire rules tend to reflect tactical reality, though they may be overly optomistic. In reality, a US soldier averages one intended hit for every ten thousand rounds fired in battle, with the majority of enemy combatants being killed by explosives or by shots that were intended for other targets. In many cases, innocent bystanders have a greater chance of being accidentally hit because they do not have any cover. Last edited by AlexanderHowl; 03-26-2016 at 05:40 PM. |

Re: I still want better rules for shotguns
i have treated shotguns firing shot, in the following way, you need to hit within the Slug Rcl stat before you can gain the ROF bonus from the shells,
so if a player fired Shot,slug,shot he would need 5 degrees of sucess to Add the slug to the ROF bonus, and 10 to add the slug and second shot, once that is done you assume that the first degree of sucess is a shot, the second is the slug and then you alternate between the shots for the rest of them |
