If you make a full attack, you get as many attacks as your base attack bonus allows.How many rounds does it expend? - 1 attack expends 1 round.Can I modify this w/o any other feats? - Not that I recall.What feats apply to Single Shot weapons? - None specifically. How many shots per attack can I make with a Semi-Automatic weapon? - As a standard action you can make one attack. As a full attack you can make as many attacks as your base attack bonus allows.How many rounds does it expend? - 1 attack expends 1 round.Can I modify this w/o any other feats? - No.What feats apply to Semi-Automatic weapons? - The Double Tap feat allows you to fire two bullets from a semi-automatic weapon while making only one attack. You take a -2 penalty to the attack, add one die of damage, and spend 2 bullets. How many shots per attack can I make with an Automatic weapon? - Again, as a standard action you can make one attack. As a full round action you can make as many attacks as your base attack bonus allows. How many rounds does it expend? - 10 rounds per attack, apparently. I would think there would be some way to use fewer bullets, but not that I see by the rules. Also, I've never used an automatic weapon, so I don't know how hard it is to be conservative with the ammo. It seems that, normally, firing an automatic weapon for any purpose other than autofire (fill a 10 x 10 area with bullets, forcing a Reflex DC 15 save to avoid damage) is a waste.Can I modify this w/o any other feats? - You can choose to use 10 bullets to attack 1 target, or use 10 bullets to attack an area. Those are you only options.What feats apply to Automatic weapons? - The Burst Fire feat allows you to spend 5 rounds (or 3 rounds for some weapons) to use a precise version of autofire, aimed at a single target, dealing more damage than with single bullets. Additionally, Strafe lets you change the shape of your autofire, but it's a crappy feat, and illogically designed. Basically, single shot refers to something like a revolver. You can fire it fast, but not as fast as a semi-automatic. With a normal modern pistol, you only need to pull the trigger to shoot, and you don't have to <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> anything.I will say, given that d20 Modern is supposed to handle action movie style combat, it sucks at it. I've played in a campaign for nearly a year now, and we're consistently underwhelmed by how guns compare to melee weapons. It's been a long time since I've played any other games with guns, though, so I don't know what games handle it better.</blockquote>
