If the PC goes prone behind it (minor action) then it should grant Superior Cover (-5 to-hit) or maybe block ranged/melee attacks entirely. The character can stand up as a move action, so the drill would be Stand Up, Fire, Drop Prone. If the weapon requires an action to load (like most crossbows) then you probably can't maintain a 1 shot/round rate of fire. Note too that the enemy CAN still hit you, they will just have to use readied actions or immediate actions, etc. to do so. The other tricky part is dropping prone isn't really movement AFAICT and doesn't entitle you to try to hide. That adds in another move action you will need, making it (Stand Up, Attack, Drop Prone, next round Move+Hide, reload, repeat).</p></blockquote><p></p>
