Being STUNNED while already STUNNED

It's worth pointing out that the roll to recover from Stun is plain HT, not HT-4 (B420). It's not clear from your post if your GM added the additional penalty because you were "double stunned" or if that's what he or she does for all rolls to recover from stun. If it's for all rolls, that's either a houserule or a mistake.

When stunned, your active defenses are at -4, so that's possibly where the mistake comes from, if it's not intentional.

Actually no, if you have armor your roll gets even worse, because you dont get the DR bonus on the recovery roll.
Basic Set p.35

He may roll vs. HT+1 once per second to recover, but once again at a penalty equal to the level of the Affliction (DR has no effect on this roll).

And assuming from the HT-4 value that this was some kind of Electrolaser gun UT p.119 states this explicitly aggain for those weapons

Ah, I thought the stun was due to the damage from being shot. I don't have Ultratech. I apologize for confusing the issue.

That's true of any unmodified (stunning) Affliction, it isn't specific to Electrolasers.

I think he actually confused stun due to an Affliction vs stun from a major wound.

That is it exactly.
