Recoil compensation for drones/vehicules guns ? Options

[IKerensky]

Hello,

what amount of recoil does a gun fixed on a drone/vehicule compensate by being on a fixated position ? none ? any ? all ?

Also I think I remember that heavy weapons dont double recoil when shooted from a fixed position, does them ?

Standart rule is: None recoil at all, whatever you do (Fullauto, Heavy Weapon).

Optional rule. and often use: Add body of drone to the recoil compensation of the gun.

We use the optional rule that a Drone or vehicle that you get recoil comp equil to the body of the vehicle. So a bulldog step van gets lots of recoil but a storm cloud drone that is a balloon with sensors only has 1 or 2.

Btw how do you rule for vehicles with multiple weapons?

technically you can only have one weapon system active at a time.

(technically, i think that's a crock of bovine excrement, but that's what the rules say).

anyways, i would rule that as being applied per gun, personally. i'm not envisioning a bulldog step van being shifted around too much even by a pair of ares alphas on full auto, you'd have to use something pretty danged big in terms of a gun to move a van substantially, and it would take a *lot* of small-arms fire to generate enough recoil for a delivery-van sized vehicle to be affected by it.

Yeah, recoil for small arms except at extremely large ammo sizes isn't going to move anything rigid with decent mass.

Recoil affects humans because we're flexible, really. When a round goes off, the shooter's body moves, allowing the firearm to shift and throwing off the aim.

This does raise an interesting point that I've brought up before, but shouldn't heavily cyberlimbed individuals be less affected by recoil? A "tin man" should be able to momentarily "lock" his limbs when firing to provide a rigid mount effect.
