Jim has small arms skill 4 and his strength is 5 and he uses Uzi (recoil 5).

Opponents have same initiative and both throw 1D6. Jim throws 6 and opponents throw 4 and 5. Jim fires first.

He shoots two soviets (short range).

For the first burst:

Skill 4+ bonus for burst + 1 + 1d10= 7. He needs at least 6 to hit target. Result is 7 so two bullets hit the first opponent. Opponent dies.

Second burst:
Skill 4+ 1D10+ 1 bonus for burst – 1 for recoil it is over his strength= 5 Jim misses his target.

Now Player can shoot extra burst if he wants:
Skill 4+ 1D10+ 1 bonus for burst – 2 for recoil – 1 extra action= 4 Jim misses target again.

Opponent has same initiative and referee decides he can now shoot back even if Jim has won the initiative throw.

Skill 4+ 1D10+ single shot no bonus – 2 under intense fire= 8

Throw random location = he hits Jim in chest. Damage from 3d6 round is 12. Referee throws 11 with 1D20. Result is under 12 and Jim dies.

Range and bonus for automatic fire:
1+ short range, + 0 for medium and long range fire, -1 for extreme range

MG with bipod or tripod:
2+ for short range, no bonus for longer range, -1 for initiative.

area fire from bipod and tripod: normal skill check for distance and use normal V2.0 rules for automatic fire. If player fails skill check burst don’t hit target area.

Area fire for smg:s and assault rifles -1 for skill check- use normal V 2.0 rules.
