Autofire and Targeting

[Dino]

If a character aims for a specific hit location with an autofire attack, do all his attacks hit that location or only the first?

Re: Autofire and Targeting

 

How Autofire interacts with the Hit Location rules depends on how those rules are being used.

 

If the attacker has declared a Placed Shot and suffered the OCV penalty for that Hit Location, then all the Autofire shots hit that Location. Fair is fair; he was willing to suffer the penalty so he deserves the benefits if he still hits despite that penalty.

 

If the Hit Location struck by an attack is simply being rolled, then the attacker should roll once for each shot that hits the target.
