Right. My point is that you're still investing something to get that small bonus, so it's not 'broken'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

… Can you really Iaijutsu a submachine gun? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Oh jeez.


Based on the wording, you might even be able to Iajitsu a missile launcher. It all comes down to whether you GM classifies a missile launcher as a firearm.

You can use that or the equivalent adept power to quick draw rocket launchers, railguns, and pretty much any other weapon you can think of. I wouldn't be surprised if it worked with Gunnery, too.

Hehe. Well, I'm totally fine with the Adept power, it's MAGIC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) For the martial art, I think my group will want to house-rule a max size, based on the concealability table. Haha.

They can take underbarrel weight mods though, only the auto-adjusting one is restricted for pistols.

My bad was think of the accessory and the auto one. Not the one thats modded in to the gun.

I disagree. You even make the point that you split your dice pool to split your focus. It makes no sense that you can fire one gun in one hand and one gun in the other without penalty.

As it was mentioned before, there is the off-hand penalty. There's also the penalty of splitting your dice pool, but only if you fire two weapons simultaneously with a single action.

If you wanted to do that, use a single weapon.

But there are in-game reason to using two pistols instead of just one. Like having access to two types of ammo, for instance one pistol with SnS for the guards and one with APDS for drones.

There is a penalty to using a gun in each hand, a penalty that is overcome by firing the gun properly and with both hands. As I have said, if you have a gun in each hand, you split the dice pool and you can't use smartlinks or the such.

Sorry, but pistols are one-handed weapons in SR. Following your logic you would have to split the dice pool too, if you were carrying a bottle of whiskey in your off-hand...

If you are two-fisting guns, you split your dice pool. Works well for me, YMMV.

If it works for you, great! Keep it up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
