Increasing Threshold instead of lower pools Options

[X-Kalibur]

Thought that hit me, perhaps it has been brought up before and I'm simply too lazy to search.

Say to shoot your firearm you have 12 dice. This means you need to roll 6 1's in order for a 'glitch' to occur. A glitch is something that is a minor inconvenience. A jam, a clip drop, your smartlink cutting out, etc.

Why then, should firing while moving at an opponent who is behind cover, increase my odds of a jam, clip drop, etc? It seems to me that instead of lowering someone's base dice pool and magically making them more prone to being unlucky, that simply raising the thresholds in combat is more effective.

I would like to hear other opinions on this idea however.
