Firing at multiple targets

[Marc]

Bon dia!

Searching for some opinions… Do you apply any modification to the character firing at more than one target in the same combat action (semiautomatic mode)? I think (but I’m not sure) that v2.2 limit the maximum number of targets to 3, but without any modifier to do so. I’m thinking to raise the level to Formidable(x1/2) for the second target and to Impossible (x1/4) for the third, plus any other modifier caused by recoil, etc. Too much difficult? Any suggestion?

we use the 3 target rules in our v 2.0 game .

If aiming the first shot is aimed ,subsequent shots are always quick shots ( 1 level more difficult at same range.)
example : range close ,aiming for one phase and then firing 9mm pistol :
1st shot is aimed
2nd shot is quick shot -1 range banner longer away ( use medium skill)
3d shot is quick shot (and also use medium range skill)

With a pistol skill of 5 there is 50 % chance of hitting first round,30% second round and 30 % chance last round.BUT! recoil penalty may apply and make % chance even lower.

If at same range ,I think it is too difficult to demand 1/4 skill for third shot .

1/2 skill for second shot in our rules equals quick shot and is acceptable.Also recoil penalties set in and can act as negative modifier .

Lastly in RL , with a .22 pistol ( low recoil) I am able to pop of three rounds at three different targets at same range in 5 sec without feeling it too difficult .As I am not a very good shot with a pistol I would say that the rules are OK as far as I can judge them.
