[image] Why can't you burst-fire with any automatic? That is the case where that ‘accumulated recoil’ comes in place, since rapidly firing a .50 BMG rifle is near to impossible, “Near” being the keyword, there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXEK7rcqO-Y

I’d characterize that as “practically” impossible. It takes a world’s best shooter to even fire like, that, and even then it was all over the place.

Isn’t level 10 in a skill generally considered world class? Plus, it’s possible for a normal human, it should be quite doable for a bionic mutant.

[image] Why can't you burst-fire with any automatic? Isn’t level 10 in a skill generally considered world class? World class and world’s best are two different things. Skill 10 is “qualified to participate” in national level competition or maybe somehing like the olympics, but it doesn’t appl…

[image] kevin.granade: World class and world’s best are two different things. Skill 10 is “qualified to participate” in national level competition or maybe somehing like the olympics, but it doesn’t apply that you can do can automatically do something that a person already at that level has tra…

[image] darktoes: It doesn’t make sense to make something impossible just because it’s impractical. Who said anything about making it impossible? If we add double or triple tap for rifles (which we probably wont…), I wouldn’t specifically disallow it for high calibre rifles, but the recoil wo…

I’ll point out that while that’s close range and the world’s best shooter, all shots did hit center mass on a target a few meters away, and it was 6 shots in under 1 second. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for someone who is merely “Extremely Good” instead of “World’s Best” to keep such a weapon on…

Isn’t barrett’s muzzle breaker taking away 70% of recoil? And recoilling barrel reduce it even more. Also, it weights a lot. All this makes it more easy to controll than your average .375 Magnum rifle.

I’ve always imagined that some kind of Bionic Solider would use Hydraulic Muscles to get their STR high enough to fire a heavier machine gun. I actually don’t think that it should be high enough to properly fire a Browning HMG; you should need at least 48-50 STR for that at minimum. And the only pe…

[image] Zanos: in six seconds, which is the smallest time increment cataclysm uses. That is not the case, “turns” are 6 seconds long (though I plan to shrink that to 1 second at some point), but a standard player has 100 moves per turn, and an action can take as little as a single move (or ap…
