Should plasma pistols have a sustained fire dice on maximum power, as in Warhammer 40,000?
Yes, they should have one sustained fire dice. Q: If I have a model with Rapid Fire Skill (2 shots if you remain stationary), Fast Shot skill (one shot per attack the model has, let’s assume 3) and Gunfighter skill (can fire one pistol with each hand), that’s a potential 4 to 12 shots per turn depending on how you count it! Is this allowed, and if so how do you add up the shots? A: OK, (takes deep breath) Rapid Fire and Fast Shot cannot be combined as they each modify the same thing (ie how many shots you can fire with your gun). In other words, you can either choose to have two shots for the Rapid Fire skill or one shot per attack for the Fast Shot skill, not both! The Gunfighter skill allows you to fire this number of shots with each pistol, so it would mean you multiply the number of shots you can fire by two (but remember that the two separate pistols’ stat lines are used for the respective shots). You should roll each shot one at a time because of the chance that failed ammo rolls
