has to roll 14 or less on 2D10.

BURSTS AND FULL AUTOMATIC WEAPONS:

A person firing a burst (3 rounds), rolls 1D3 (1D6/2) to see how many rounds hit.
A person firing a full auto burst rolls a dice relevant to the amount of rounds fired:
10 rounds: 1D10, 20 Rounds: 2D10, and so forth.
Roll location and damage for each round that hit.

BURST MODIFIERS: 2nd and 3rd burst: -5 (not accumulative).

Full auto burst: -10 (if more than 20 rounds/shots, -5 if 20 or less)
GRAPPLING (Procedure):
Both the attacker and the defender roll their Melee skill or Unarmed.
If successful, then the attacker can give unarmed damage (1D4+1+STR bonus), or Melee damage of
melee weapon.

The defender cannot move until they win a Melee/Unarmed skill roll.

If unsuccessful, then the grapple has failed. The defender can act normally.
Each round, a Melee/Unarmed skill roll is made to see who gets the upper hand.

If the attacker succeeds, then he can give unarmed damage.

The attacker can specify an area to damage (-5 to hit).

Melee damage: damage of weapon + STR bonus. Melee strike: once per round.
If using a blunt club type weapon (rifle butt, bottle, etc), then: 1D8+STR bonus.
Baseball/cricket bat: 1D8+2+STR Bonus.
Club with 6-inch nails: 1D10+2+STR Bonus.

CRITICAL HIT (Ranged or Melee): +1D8 extra damage. AV is halved (round down).

OPTIONAL RULE:
If damage received is equal to or less than a target’s AV by 2 points, then the target receives –5% to
ALL skill rolls for the next turn, unless they make a con roll with a modifier of +3 (die roll).
Example: a target takes 8-10 points of damage to his torso, which has AV10 armour.
The target must make a con roll +3 to die roll or suffer –5% to all skill rolls for a turn.
If he fails, then he suffers disorientation (-5% to skill rolls) for a turn.

AIMED SHOT: takes place after the character has spent one action aiming his weapon. A target must
be visible in both the aiming and firing phases for the aimed shot to take place.
The character must inform the GM which target they are aiming at.
If more than one shot/burst is fired in a turn/phase, only the first counts as aimed.
All subsequent shots/bursts are considered quick shots (-25%).
