How are automatic weapons supposed to work?

Hi folks,

Short-time lurker, first-time poster.

I've read the "Full Auto Rules", p24/25 and am left bemused.

My interpretation is that if you are using "Full Auto", or a weapon that has a Burst as standard then the firer's Agility/Intense Training Powers are irrelevant in determining to-hit.

There is no Attack roll and the target(s) simply make Defence rolls hoping for 20+/30+/40+ (Burst, p39).

In the case of "Full Auto" the target(s) get a +1DM to their Defence roll.

Is this correct?

Thanks,

Tom

I don't get the +1DM to defense roll part. Otherwise, this is correct.

You aren't really aiming; you're just doing "spray and pray" towards the enemy.

I don't get the +1DM to defense roll part.

p24, "Because you aren't really aiming , the targets get a +1 Multiplier bonus to their defense rolls ..."

Regards,

Tom
