Actually I'm being unfair an automatic weapon can fore twice at half range (24 yards)!

But yeah 40k is basically "wait until you see the white's* of their eyes"


Of course as said there's the inherent table top issue that you are actually fighting on a table top.

Or red's, or green's or tentacles of their eyes

I've played Rogue Trader RPG, and skimmed Dark Heresy RPG. The allegedly 'rapid firing' weapons are not what they call themselves. Ranges are meh too, but I don't remember the numbers.
