Grappled & Ranged Attacks: Martial Arts vs. Tactical Shooting vs. Technical Grappling

[DouglasCole]

Also, remember that most GURPS assumes grapple = no use of ranged weapons AT ALL. So TG is generous by that stance. If you feel that the book didn't go far enough, fine - simply penalize all ranged attacks by a number equal to the total CP inflicted by all grapples on the foe.

We'd introduced enough detail (or complexity, if you will) that "just use your foe's Trained ST" was better than nothing. By and large, we assumed that some of that penalty would be offset by trying to shoot in close combat, whcih means an AoA(Determined)/Telegraphic attack would offset +5 to hit for a pseudo-melee "ranged" attack with a gun. Shooting a foe in a controlled manner at 25yds while also grappled? I'm comfortable with "no frackin' way" in this case.
