Sorry I realized that after I posted but the phrasing confused me.

Does visibility affect suppressive fire?

Just to expand on the answer from our illustrious GM (who clearly just has our team's best interests at heart, and who isn't totally out to slaughter us all...), the SR4 rules on suppressive fire don't mention visibility at all, but SR5 clarifies the intent:
Quote from: SR5, page 179
Suppressive fire takes a Complex Action, uses twenty rounds of ammo, and ignores recoil. Though it may appear as a “spray and pray” technique it is in fact a combination of controlled and fully automatic bursts focused over a narrow area and directed at anything that moves.

So, yeah, visibility would seem to come into play there.

On the upside, once Sam gets over his shock, his contacts give him thermographic vision; on the downside, he's not one of our team's best fighters. ::)

I'm know, I'm sorry. Been kinda swamped with work for the past few days. I'll have something up in a little bit.

Okay, apparently I missed irisheathen referring to the smoke being a -4 penalty which must be why all of you are doing it, but it is really a -2 which is what I have been using to this point.  I went ahead and used a -4 on the shot the guy in the skylight made just now, but the best thing I can think of to compensate anyone for my missing this error until now is to give O'Connor and Johnny back two health boxes each, Clem hasn't been hurt, otherwise she would get them too.

From here on I will try to be more aware of telling you guys these kinds of modifiers, and moving forward the smoke is at the -2 level.

Once O'Connor takes his third and fourth passes, everyone can roll initiative again.

Sorry about the smoke thing. :-[
I took off the two boxes of stun damage so I only have a negative one wound mod.

I'm gonna go ahead and roll initiative cause I'm gonna be super busy tomorrow.
Reaction (6) + Intuition (3) - Wounds (1)= 8
[spoiler]
8d6.hits(5)=4
[/spoiler]

Out of curiosity (since I just tried to find it in the book and failed) does my wound modifier also affect the number that is added to what I roll?
Ex. Johny's normal initiative is 9 total, he has -1 from wounds so I roll 8 die. However, is 8 (-1 from wounds) OR 9 (normal score) added to the hits rolled?

Clem also has a third pass. Should I post her actions?

Initiative
Reaction 8 + Intuition 3 - CM 2 = Pool 9
9d6.hits(5) → [5,6,3,1,1,3,6,3,5] = (4)

Before I have to look this up and figure all this out myself, is it safe to assume that you know all the rules and built O'Connor and his weapons to be able to do that with no additional penalties for recoil and off-hand shooting?  I am also guessing that you are going for damage on the bursts and not additional dice to hit.  What is you base damage per weapon and ammo and burst effect?

initiative 6 -2 wounds =4 (4d6.hits(5)=3)
total of 7 or 9 (I'm not sure if the wound penalty is also on the static value).  Whatever, I'll probably be last.
