HTH Autofire Attacks and Knockback?

[Hyper-Man]

Hi Steve,

 

I couldn't find a reference in the board or FAQ regarding the following situation:

1. Say a character has a HTH attack with Autofire.
   
2. He attacks an opponent (who is NOT pinned to a wall or the ground) with it and rolls low enough to get multiple hits in via the Autofire.
   
3. He rolls damage for the first hit, figures body, rolls for knockback and actually does enough to knockback the opponent.
   

Do any of the subsequent Autofire attacks (that hit according to OCV vs. DCV) still land or does the knockback resolve before the next punch lands?

 

Sorry if this has already been covered.

The Rules FAQ under, IIRC, "Autofire" and "Effects Of Damage" has rules for KB and Autofire, which also went into 5ER. Whether it's a HTH or Ranged attack isn't relevant; the rule doesn't distinguish between the two, nor deny the attacker the right to roll damage for all attacks that hit.
