Star Trek fans, this is making me think of the Galileo 7 episode from ST:TOS.

True Detective Season 4, episodes 1 and 2 just watched and I feel like it's in the same unhappy universe as The Pipeline.

Highly recommend your watching. Been excellent so far.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be on Amazon Prime (which is the only service I pay for).

See pages 114 - 118 of the rules for the detailed explanation. Summary below.

I own these rules in hardcopy and pdf so a small excerpt shouldn't be any breach of copyright:

The M16 doesn't do full auto (multiple volleys). It can be used to fire 1 or 2 single shots, same rules as for a handgun. Or it can fire a burst which is basically 1 volley of 3 shots.

Thank you! I presume I get a bonus die due to point blank range. The problem is, with a burst of only 3 shots, I'll only hit with one of them if I succeed but don't get an extreme success. I'm better off firing two single shots, as long as I get both of them off before the bear attacks. I had the weapon ready in my hands at the start of the round, so as long as my DEX beats the bear's, I get both shots first, and it sounds like I do.

Best as I understand it, that is correct.

Is it possible to shoot at the beastie without danger of clipping Benjamin by mistake? Would closing with the fracas reduce the danger to Benjamin of getting shot by mistake?

Thanks to the miracle of modern automatic weapons, the bear is no more. It took catastrophic damage with the first shot πŸ™„

It is an ex-bear. It is pining for the fjords (or whatever it is bears pine for).

Excellent, be embarrassing for shaky Randy to have capped Benjamin by mistake.

This bear has expired, bereft of life he has ceased to be, he's gone to meet his maker.

Would you like me to bring him back to life? πŸ˜‰

I'd rather that didn't happen. ;)

Since I killed it with the first shot, does that mean I didn't fire the second and get to save the bullet?

A) He's just tired and shagged out after a prolonged growl...

B) That first M16 (5.56 calibre) bullet, was it by any chance made of silver...?
