Default Re: Help stating a Firearm: The American 180 .22LR SMG

Wow, I remember when the American 180 (or AMD 180) was going to be the Next Big Thing in firearms.

I think it's worth bearing in mind what "Recoil" as a stat means in GURPS4. Rcl 2 doesn't mean that you need to be strong to hold the thing on target; it means that second-shot accuracy is low, and the hit point will jump around even if you bracket it in a vice on the firing bench (internal flexing). What RoF 20 gives you is +4 to hit with one of the huge cloud of bullets you're pumping out.

Though granted, this kind of RoF is a place where I think the GURPS system breaks down a bit.

This isn't one of the weapons like the mounted machine guns which were too accurate and would put a bunch of bullets into the same hole in the already-destroyed target.
