Re: Deadlands: Reloaded
A, B - don't have the book handy, can't comment
C1 - if you shoot with a non-gatling gun and roll lousy damage, you are stuck. With the gatling, sure, sometimes the 2nd attack is redundant, but often it is not, and it will finish off the guy.
C2 - So don't suppress, then suppress again. for one think you don't have enough ammo unless you reloud, IIRC the gatling has a ROF of 2, so suppresion uses up 10 rounds, ROFx5 (or did they cahnge that in SWEX?) supress, then shoot all the shaken guys next round
if you roll a 1 on your sprit roll vs suppresive fire, you take damage. Granted, it's not very likely, it can happen. also, if they are extra's, the 1 means they were shaken by fialing the spriit roll, so it's esier to take them out. Also, supressive fire isn't "kill everything" fire, it's supposed to supress the enemyu, to stop them from shooting you. making them Shaken does that
D - unless you loot one or are an Agent
