Basically, as the topic title says, what are your opinions on the suppressive fire system currently in shadowrun?

I personally have to house rule it so that if people don't choose to dodge, or fail their dodge, they get hit, even if the shooter misses.

Otherwise, an unskilled person with a mounted, fully RC/ed machinegun can fire 10 rounds down a 1 meter wide passageway, and anyone can walk down it without taking a scratch

This is because the unskilled person will never realistically manage to get more than one or two successes at a quickness(10) test, and will usually fail completely.

Discuss?
