Elephant Guns, ST and Rcl

Ahh yes - story context is everything. I tend to stat for realistic firearm games.

Just thinking aloud, at TL 9 he could probably get an AI to design any gun of the his choice, and a 3D printer could make it. I wonder how that would effect the price of items that we would currently consider rare [like an low production run rifle].

Also - there are rules in tactical shooting [p.14] for high speed shooting of weapons beyond their Rof, which would amount to -2 to hit and +1 Rcl for a double barrel rifle.
That's if you use the rules for pump and lever rifles... double barrel rifles are curiously absent. Personally it does not seem any less realistic to fire a double barrel rifle at Rof 2 when the rules allow a lever action 45-70 at Rof 4.
