Recoil for Single-Shot Weapons
Some weapons can only shoot once per turn, such as bolt-action rifles. Some weapons can only shoot once per reloading cycle, such as flare guns--but they still have Recoil stats.
Riddle me this: In what situation would someone use the Recoil stat for something like a single-shot flare gun? |

Yeah, there's no situation where those values actually matter.

Re: Recoil for Single-Shot Weapons
Imbuements can bring Rcl into relevant status. It also matters if you somehow customize the weapon to have more than one barrel.

Re: Recoil for Single-Shot Weapons
Well, if you craft a double-barreled version of something it matters. Or if you cobble together a mitrailleuse or some such. It certainly doesn't hurt to include the Rcl stat. It's easy to conceive of some other derived effect that is based on Rcl, too, like a penalty to roll vs. falling when firing while tightrope walking or some such.

It doesn't hurt, it's just a surprising truth that there don't seem to be any such rules published anywhere.
