I too am afraid that it increases bookeeping, but perhaps blatting out a chart that shows what's needed to roll to hit defence X with bullet Y would help speed it up.  It'd be bulky, but quick.  I'd also like to split the firearms into different 'recoil categories' that would take into account construction, calibre and ergonomics, but that's probably getting a bit too detailed for a spy game play.  }:>-grin-  From what I heard, it was due to fire control (more specifically, lack thereof) and the inability for them to master the 'double tap'.  Kannik</blockquote>
