ok, i have a player that is convinced he is in a John Woo flick when he plays shadowrun. He likes to play characters that are pistol firing fiends, and they always have one in each hand. for the most part i underrstand everything but the uncompensated recoil thing.,
the book says that uncompensated recoil from one gun aplies to the other (or something like that). what i need to know is, when? the way i usually see it happening (which could be what is screwing me up), they fire one time with primary hand, then with off-hand, then again with prime hand, then again with off hand. so, lets say for simple sake (and also becuase it is the situation in my game) the two pistols are identicle, and have no recoil compensation. So he fires one shot, does the next shot have a +1 for recoil? or does that wiat till the prime hand fires again? if so, it would be, normal for first 2, and then third shot gets a +1 recoil, and the last gets a +2? or does it go, normal first, and then sencond shot is a +1 recoil mod, and then third shot is +2, and last shot is +3?
If the book gives a good example that explains this i missed it, so if it is in there let me know where. cuase as it is, it really never says when or even how to apply the uncompensated recoil. it is probably counting on me to read into it, and assume that one thing is the same as the other. i think it is the first is the only one without recoil penalty, and that is how i have been doing it. but my players want to know for sure.
any help is apreciated :rotate:
ps- i realize he could jsut get recoil comp and eliminate the problem, but he is very, very, very thick headed. i am not sure he even knows what RC means...
