[QUOTE="Victim, post: 1811760, member: 78"] For pistol type weapons, that +2 bonus to damage from bursts is pretty huge. It takes a decent size pistol to do 1d12. However, on the low end, the damage is still one. You probably won't have too many other damage bonuses on a gun - Point Blank Shot, most likely, which doesn't always apply. So that +2 is going to be the only thing keeping your weapon from doing a pathetic 1 or 2 points. Also, in D20 Modern, Burst Fire A) requires a special feat to use, and B) slaps a hefty -4 penalty on the attack. Since burst fire in GT doesn't require 13 Wis and a feat, should it be as effective? On the other hand, high damage rifles or shotguns already do 4 or 5 d4. It doesn't take much extra damage to make them reach MDT for most enemies. Con 15, level 6 ordinaries are going to be the exception. I wouldn't expect elite guys like that to fold up instantly. Finally, the Narrow Burst option really sucks. Since a character using a gun is almost always going to be Rapid Shooting, a Wide Burst is usually better. [/QUOTE]
