By your explanation I would give modern firearms more ROF / round too depending on the type. OD&D has missile weapons firing twice/round except crossbows (and other wound projectiles like siege weapons). I've found most players address combat like a hack & slash attrition-fest. (Get the weapon with the highest odds of dealing damage in a round and start hacking) But I've found each weapon can be better and worse by situation. A group of M-Us can use X-bows while hidden to ambush approaching enemies. The surprise round is 1 attack and win or lose 1st round initiative, they still get a second shot in before the enemy can typically cross short x-bow range. That's enough to do in most low level bandit squads. (at higher levels the M-Us will probably start off with a few spells anyways)</blockquote>
