[QUOTE="MW Turnage, post: 566931, member: 7250"] While having a slower cyclic rate is handy in some circumstances, I cant see it having much of a game-system effect. Honestly, d20M has just too coarse a level of detail for it to matter. Certainly nothing so great to justify a new way of handling burst fire or autofire. I haven't seen the book, but that's most likely the infamous Dragons' Breath shotgun round by Blammo!, made famous by many a Vampire supplement. It was used a magnesium load that shot an impressive looking tongue of flame about a 200'-250' at a [B]very[/B] high temp. Recently the company went out of business, blaming recent changes in legislation (I dont want to dream of their liability insurance, if any). I have no idea of the legal status of these rounds, but here is a site [url]www.firequest.com[/url] which sells something similar. BTW, these rounds were absolute hell on barrels according to a friend that tried a few shells. I'm not sure how to handle this in game terms. Perhaps as a round with [I]flaming projectiles[/I] cast on it? Maybe the effects of a flamethrower doing 2d8 to all targets in a stragiht line for 200 feet or so? I'd give it a purchase DC of 8 or so. [/QUOTE]
