Oh hell no. The pistol is always ready to rock. Only the rifle is carried with an empty chamber (bolt closed). I don't have to worry about the pistol rubbing around everywhere. Gotta love the molded safariland holsters :D edit: Krazy, are these bolt-action rifles? I'd be worried with a round in the chamber (open bolt) that it may have a light primer (or god knows what) and go off when I slam the bolt closed. I know it's rare, but... Also, I know on a lot of automatics, if you leave the bolt open, a round in the chamber will actually fall out if you tilt the rifle. How do you avoid this? Pardon my n00b sounding questions, but I'm not familiar with your weapons so I'm just curious. |

And it leaves you prone until you stand up. Really, though, as the GM could you have rolled a perception to allow them to not shoot? |

Since I reload most of my own, I don't worry much about soft primers (they don't get past the press and all the others are .22lr, so the round going off when the bolt is closing isn't going to be terrible (painful yes, but not that bad) Don't worry about the sound of your questions, I'd guess that few people on this board have had accsess to a 6.5x55 huskivarna swedish mauser, where the chamber is tight enough to hold the shell, but if you bring the bolt back too far the next round will pop out of the magazine and get in the way. most bolt action rifles are tight enough to hold the case, but I don't know about automatics, I dont have much experiance with them, and givien that they are all mag fed of some type, you wouldn't be able to have to bolt locked back with a round in anyway, the top round in the mag would be pushed into it by the bolt.
each persons expertise is limited by their experiance. one can't know it all. |

Voted All. The team should have tried harder to remain in contact with each other, sharing position, status, intent, etc. In 2060's information sharing should be central to any group of individuals who claim to be a "team", otherwise they are just a group of ignorant nubs running around bumping into things. (and as evident here, bumping each other off!)

Definately C's fault. The others tried to keep in contact, but he wasn't answering his phone. Even when you hear a gun charge, you shouldn't do any sort of threating manuver. Having your gun ready isn't what I'd call threating, just don't have it pointed at anyone.
This is almost as bad as the time two of my group got seperated from us and ended up disgusing themselves as guards without informing the rest. Ended up with the run being a clusterfrag because someone just had to use a shotgun to bring them down. |
