Dumb Question on Rapid Fire
If my gun has RoF 3, can I attack 3 different targets? Are there penalties for this? I looked in Basic but both pages about rapid fire weren't much help.

Re: Dumb Question on Rapid Fire
If you have RoF 5+, you can use the Spreading Fire rules on B409. If not, the only way to shoot two targets in a turn is to use a Ranged Rapid Strike. You would need Weapon Master, Gunslinger, or similar dispensation from the GM to engage more than two targets, though.

Re: Dumb Question on Rapid Fire
Not on a single attack, you need rof 5 or more. (p374 and p409, spraying fire)

Re: Dumb Question on Rapid Fire
Thanks guys. I saw those entries but I was looking for something in the book that specifically addressed RoF < 5, so I sort of read right over it.
Thanks! |

Ranged Rapid Strike is not exclusive to Gun-fu. I think it can be found in High Tech?

Re: Dumb Question on Rapid Fire
Yeah, Ranged Rapid Strike isn't really mentioned in the basic set, is it? It's mentioned in the other gun related books though, and it is a logical extension of the Rapid Strike rules.
