As far as I understand, rifle bullets go very fast. They're also generally much smaller in caliber than pistols munitions. Hence, they go through armor, people, what have you with a good degree of ease. If they don't fragment in you, then they won't hurt you that bad (for being hit by a bullet at least, you'll still be in a world of hurt).
On the other hand, pistol (and SMG) rounds are larger, slower, and designed to stop in a person. They're not very good at going through armor, but being fat, they're pretty good at ripping the insides of a person apart. Looking at SR's damage codes, I see that a pistol generally has more power (penetration) than a rifle (7-10 vs. 7-9) but usually an equal DL. (Almost always M). Have any of you come up with a work-around to this, and/or are my figures complete apeshit? |
