Mixing tactical shooting and martial arts
 

Has anyone built styles or campaigns using the matirial from both tactical shooting and martial arts? How did it go? What did you make?

The Marines I made for the playtest had both MCMAP and Assaulter. Worked fine. Why wouldn't it?

Martial Arts: Fairbairn Close Combat Systems was specifically written for mixing tactical shooting and martial arts. The Fairbairn-Sykes Handgun Shooting style is a special version of the more generic Point-Shooting style, and one of the reason why I wrote the whole book. I also point out a number of martial arts styles that would be especially realistic for a tactical shooter to have (Tactical Shooting, p. 26).

Pretty much every serious shooter I've made during and post the playtest has had a style from Tactical Shooting in addition to some form of hand-to-hand style.

For the first season of Boston Mystic, there were four PCs.

One PC had the Assaulter style in addition to BJJ, Jujutsu and Sayoc Kali.
One had Modern Pistol in addition to Krav Maga and Escrima.
And another had Assaulter and Shotgunner in addition to a Police lens of Combat Wrestling.
The fourth had no shooting skills and his martial art styles were the very useful Akido and Fencing -Sport Saber.

For the second season, three of those PCs reprise their roles.

The one without shooting skills has attended several weeklong seminars, more than a dozen weekend courses and thrice-weekly shooting practice to pick up tactical shooting. He also took practical hand-to-hand lessons with a retired Special Forces Master Sergeant in Jujutsu and Escrima. This allowed him to add Modern Pistol, Jujutsu and Escrima. He also learnt defensive driving and parkour, took a first aid course and went hunting and hiking.

The other players accuse him of thinking he's Bruce Wayne.
