Firing a long narrow burst out of an SMG, you suffer a -5 dice pool, use up six bullets, and gain only +5 DV. So you use up six times the ammunition, trade off about half your dice pool, and only double your damage. You also, incidentally, make it easier to dodge, because with a dice pool cut from 10 to 5, you can now expect 1 or 2 hits, instead of 3, and your target gets no modifiers to his dodge at all.
I will admit that this system does make firefights a lot more survivable. But off the top of my head, I'd say net hits on burst fire should multiply the damage, with a cap equal to the number of bullets fired. The target should get to double his armor rating. Thoughts? |
