Am I wrong or going by the rules as written is it impossible to fire a single bullet from the majority of firearms in the game... I must be missing something, right?
Firing Mode
These are the modes you can use while firing. Weapons can fire in Single Shot (SS), Semi-Automatic (SA), Burst Fire (BF), and Fully Automatic (FA) modes depending on the type of gun or the modifications that have been made.
Snip
SS: You fire a single bullet. There are no changes to a weapon’s attributes with a single shot.
SA: You fire two rounds rapidly with two trigger pulls. Decrease the Attack Rating of your weapon by 2 and increase damage by 1.
BF: You’ve got a fancy gun that pumps out multiple rounds with a single trigger pull. You can fire four rounds in an attack. You can shoot a narrow burst, which decreases the Attack Rating by 4 and increases damage by 2, or make a wide burst and split your dice pool between two targets and count each as a SA-mode shot.
Snip
FA: This mode allows multiple attacks without using the Multiple Attack Minor Action. The shooter chooses to split their dice pool among any valid targets in range. This can be used to attack a slew of targets or even a single target with a series of small dice pools, with each hit doing the full damage of the weapon. This mode uses ten rounds and decreases the Attack Rating by 6.
Modes
These are the firing modes firearms use, as discussed on p. 108.
So, per p. 246, a firearm can only use the firing modes listed on the various weapon charts (p. 250-259). Out of all 45 of non-taser the Firearms listed, only five (5!) of them have the Single Shot (SS) Firing Mode listed. It's literally
impossible to fire a single bullet from
any Light Pistol, Heavy Pistol, Machine Pistol, SMG, or Machine Gun. There is only one Rifle and only one Shotgun that will let you fire a single bullet.
Do I even have to explain how silly this is?
