It's actually inefficient to make predictive attacks with low Rcl autofire weapons: You could impose a -3 Dodge penalty by taking a -6 to hit, or you could hit with an extra 3 bullets, which means the defender has to make the dodge roll by 3.

But it is perfectly reasonable that an attacker, making an aimed attack with a lot of bullets, can use those bullets to limit the spaces from which the defender can reasonably dodge.

And Plane is right - the ninja shouldn't be hanging out at range 5 while someone is aiming at him. If he'd spent his turn moving, he could have gotten adjacent to the shooter and then parried his attack since you can parry ranged attacks that occur within your melee reach. Much better for the ninja.
