    Modern firearms allow for unique combat maneuvers not possible with other weapons: Burst fire allows multiple attacks by expending ammunition on a successful CMB check against an opponent's CMD. Each 5 the check exceeds CMD results in an additional hit, up to the ammunition expended. Precision damage cannot be dealt with burst fire. Double tap allows two attacks in a round with a modern firearm as a move action at a -2 penalty, in addition to a standard action attack. This gives even 1st-level characters two attacks per round. Firearms are more compact and easier to use than other weapons, enabling special maneuvers like burst fire and double tap that provide additional attacks beyond normal weapon limitations.

    Firearms Combat Maneuvers

    The greatest advantage of modern personal firearms is not their lethality (getting hit with a greataxe is plenty lethal,
    even compared to being shot), but their compact nature and relative ease of use. As a result, you can perform com-
    bat maneuvers with modern personal firearms that are not an option for other weapons, as detailed below.
    Burst Fire: Some modern personal firearms have the ability to burst fire (indicated by the burst special feature on
    Table 2: Modern Weapons). As a standard action, make a CMB check against your opponent’s CMD. On a success-
    ful check, you hit the target. For every 5 your CMB check exceeds the target’s CMD, the target is hit by an additional
    attack. Burst fire requires you expend at least 3 rounds of ammunition, and you can expend up to 10 rounds (if your
    weapon has that much ammunition). You cannot hit the target with more attacks than rounds of ammunition ex-
    pended. You cannot deal precision damage (including sneak attacks, and any damage type that specifies it does not
    work beyond 30 feet) with a burst fire attack.
    Double Tap: Any modern firearm (PL 4 or higher) can be fired much more rapidly than a bow can be shot, and in-
    deed more quickly than typical melee weapons can be used to make attacks. To represent this, a character can
    make a single attack with such weapons as a move action, though with a -2 attack penalty. If combined with making
    a single attack as a standard action, this allows even 1st-level characters to make two attacks per round with a mod-
    ern personal firearm (one at his normal attack bonus as a standard action, and an unload attack at -2 as a move ac-
    tion).
