Rapid fire explosive rules, again

(If you miss, the margin of failure for the first shot is the actual margin of failure, and increase that by Rcl for each additional shot.)

Yes, I am aware that's the kind of thing people like to make up. Which is why I specifically asked for actual rules answers.
