Shooting.

Shooting someone who is standing still and giving you time to exercise proper shooting techniques is a piece of cake. Now shooting them while there running, and your diving backwards over a hover car is a different matter entirely. It is assumed that when your character fires a weapon at an opponent you are not aiming.

If you wish to aim you must stand still, and make no attempt to dodge for the phase in which you fire. Aiming gives you 1 of 2 benefits. It is an either or, you cannot get both. You can nullify one of your opponents beneficial TN modifiers OR you can make a called shot. Not both.

Called Shots.

If you wish to make a called shot you must aim for one simple action. During this action you cannot dodge or move faster than walking. You may crouch or lie prone. It is assumed that you are shooting for center mass. If you wish to shoot any other part of the body other than the upper Torso you must declare it. The further you get away from the Upper Torso the more successes you need.

Head, shoulders, lower torso: 2 Successes.
Arms: 4 Successes
Hands: 6 Successes
Upper Legs: 2 Successes
Lower Legs: 4 Successes
Feet: 6 Successes

What this means that if you wish to shoot someone in the head you must roll a minimum of 3 successes. The first two successes are used just to hit the head and are discarded and not counted toward any tests.
