BURST - This mode will use
multiple rounds of
ammunition. Every type of
burst weapon will have a
different rate of fire
(ROF), which determines the
number of rounds fired with
a single action. Burst
weapons use ammo faster,
but generally have a
better chance to hit
overall.
Every single bullet will get an individual
chance to hit. Even with a low skill, burst
weapons with a high ROF will usually hit something.
And something is the key word. Burst weapons
not only attack the target, but any other potential
target with the cone shaped area of effect.
A burst is capable of covering many hexes and
hitting all targets within that area. Most of the
bullets are aimed at the primary target. The rest
of the bullets can strike anybody within the cone.
Friends, enemys, helpless sheep, whatever is in the
cone that is centered around your target. Each
bullet will do the weapons listed amount of damage.
If all rounds hit, a burst weapon can do an awful
lot of damage.
However, if are right on top of an enemy, and
you burst them -- they will be riddled by all the
bullets. The cone needs a minimum of a few hexes
to work.
Besides potentially
using a lot of ammo, burst
shots may not be targeted.
You just don’t have the
fine control necessary to
bring the sight to target
with all the recoil.
THROW - This will toss the weapon at the enemy
target. This is generally a shorter ranged attack
than other ranged weapons. The exact range will
