Dodging Bullets, Evasive Movement, and a Proposed "Cosmic, No dodge w/o evasive mvmt"

Yeah, I agree with this. "Evasive movement" isn't actually that hard to pull off - you basically have to be aware of the shooter, and have a couple of yards of clearance, more or less. It's actually very comparable to the limitations of dodging an area effect attack. I'd price this at +25%, half the value of Area Effect, since it gets the limitations on dodging but not the multiple targets or wide-area injury bonuses.

However, I would also say that this could probably just be a feature of a lot of attacks, no modifier necessary. I'd just say that getting this benefit of behaving like a firearm also comes with the drawbacks - it's louder and more obvious than an arrow or a crossbow bolt would be, and harder to use to attack from stealth.
