OOC: I think one spray from the Gatling gun could drop almost everyone. Am I misunderstanding something there?
from a rules perspective or from a gut perspective?
There are two ways the Gatling can fire at multiple foes. the first is suppressing fire. You can target a 2 hex area with your shots, or a 4 hex area with half ROF. The lower ROF could indeed target the four who are doing the best, at lowered odds on each hit... though a 50% chance of one of them ending up outside the area.
The other is spraying fire, which would involve making a single attack with a single bullet at each of them... with a 25% chance of hitting any of them before dodging. Getting from 8 to 12 matters a ton in gurps, which is why I've been using the supression fire on two instead of attacking all four.
