Basic Gun Rules

Guns are all base difficulty 6 unless explicitly stated otherwise. Using guns at point-blank range (less than 5m) is -2 difficulty for small guns, -1 diff for big guns, and +2 diff for really big guns.

Firing 3-round bursts is +2d to the accuracy dice pool with no difficulty increase. Firing fully-automatically is +10d to the dice pool with no difficulty increase but halves the gun's range. Strafing is firing fully automatically but adds +1 difficulty for every target past the first, dividing its successes on the attack roll evenly (rounded up!) to all targets.

Full-automatic fire uses up 30 shots if the weapon has more than 30 shots in its magazine, or the entire magazine if the weapon has 30 or fewer rounds in its magazine. A weapon cannot attempt full-auto fire with 10 or fewer shots remaining. A weapon with (A) behind its rate (ex: RoF 5A) can fire full-auto. A weapon with (B) behind its rate (ex: RoF 2B) can fire bursts but not full-auto. Weapons with neither can only fire single shots.

Armor Piercing reduces the effectiveness of armor on a one-to-one basis. If applied via Entropy/Matter/Correspondence magic, apply 2 points of Armor Piercing per success on an arete roll.

Initiative modifiers from firearms only apply when using the firearm (or drawing it). If you're just dodging/kicking someone in the shins, don't use them. 1H melee weapons should have +2 Init, 2H ones +1 Init.

"Assault Weapons" attack at -2 difficulty to hit and damage against anyone not shooting back who has less than 1 dot of Firearms in America. Magical weapons with discrete stats (like Mjolnir or the Thunderhead) are also listed, with their names in bold.
