care to REALLY think about that twitch?
Most anti-ballistic systems engage the target at a range of 25km, And are themselves ballistic missiles (see Patriot missile system). For close in Point defense ships rely on the Vulcan mini gun firing 6000 rounds a minute, but even they require over 10km to lock on and track the target.
At typical gun ranges for 100m or less (for urban engagements), and velocity average of 1300f/s (291m/s) you are talking about .3331 seconds to impact... faster then the time needed for your brain to process that you are in danger, and even LESS time then it would take for you to line up a counter trajectory angle (keep in mind, bullets don't fly straight, they arc through the air) and pull the trigger.
IF you absolutely insisted on trying, and Edge(10+) test is very reasonable for such an unreasonable action. Oh, and if you missed? Go straight to the soak roll, no reaction test to get out of the way (you forfeited that with your shot)
Very true. But the year is 2070, and technology does seem to advance at a exponential rate. One great example is the physical size of 1gb computer memory.
Now explain some of the aspects of this character that was I thinking about attempting this with:
It is like a 450bp with an 180 karma go with it.
Now I get this may not be completely legal, but it was within reason of rules and most of it has been okay by my GM. Unless there are some rule(s) that I missed that would says this is blatantly impossible, we have yet to find them.
So the rest of the madness:
*The character is technomancer with a 8 resonance, with the echoes: Biowire, and Acceleration (I may need three ranks of acceleration instead of just one)
*Acceleration: "This advanced echo reinforces the technomancer’s neural structures to accelerate his neural pulse rate, decreasing the amount of time required for an electric signal to traverse the distance..." the electrical pulses that control can the body are moving faster, enabling faster action.
*Next you make rating 16 sprite (I think our GM set a limit on them to 2xRes which I don't think exists by book rules?) have in a comlink that is connected to your biologic PAN, and give the sprite control over the biowire in the body. If the body is controlled with electric pulse how is that much different then a drone? The machine sprite just needs autosofts.
*Sprites: "A sprite’s Matrix attributes are independent of the attributes of any node in which it is running.it runs on other, inexplicable resources." so it should be still rating 16 even in a cheap comlink?
*With modified Radar Sensor (didn't see why you couldn't modify cyberware) boosting the signal to 4, so 1km field of data collection, you have the power of a rating 16 sprite to perceive the bullet with electromagnetic radiation and electricity to move, both of which are faster then the bullet.
*With the right autosoft the sprite that is rigged into your body should have like 32 dice to shoot that bullet.
*I know that sprites have tasks, not so much worried about that.
