[QUOTE="mmu1, post: 1000514, member: 319"] Fine, except that this Dex 13 character was meant as an example of a relatively low-end character with a good chance of making a shot against the vitals. (By which I definitely do [i]not[/i] mean 90% of the time, or something silly like that - a, say, 50% chance of making a shot that'll stop someone dead is significant enough. Probably should have made that clear.) Obviously, if someone is 10 yards away and sprinting, things change quite a bit - but it's not like we're trying to be unfair to win an argument and assuming he's just going to blast away like crazy every 1-second round with a high-recoil piece of crap like a Desert Eagle, are we? ;) You can easily make a starting 100 point gunman with 15 DEX, 12 Int and 8 points in the relevant firearms skill with a handgun with a Snap Shot value of 10 and Recoil of 1 that can take up to 6 points of penalties and still be able to make two shots per round at someone's vitals without going below his Snap Shot number (the second one going up to -7) for around 60% and 50% chances to hit, or an 80% chance of hitting at least once. Not that I dislike GURPS, or anything, by the way... [/QUOTE]
