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

[Snapper]

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.

[Philulhu]

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

[Snapper]

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.

[Mr. Handy]

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.

[Snapper]

Best as I understand it, that is correct.

[Philulhu]

I’m happy with that.

[Snapper]

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?

[Philulhu]

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

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

[Snapper]

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.

[BoyBlunder78]

No.....he's stunned.....

[Philulhu]

Would you like me to bring him back to life?

[Mr. Handy]

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?

[Snapper]

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...?
