Is this possible and are there any penalties for this?
Unless you have Trickshooting, you can only fire a rifle one-handed if you fire Wild.
Also, according to the official rules, only certain OCCs/RCCs can fire paired weapons.
Again, you could probably fire paired rifles if you were firing Wild (with some extra penalties).

If you are big enough and strong enough I don't see how you couldn't use certain rifles (folding stock) the same as using two pistols.
The same penalties would apply of course. Off hand penalties, no simultaneous shooting and the like.

I would think that being a former member of the Triax Special forces I might have the WP paired weapons 2x for the four arms seeing as how willing my GM allowed me to take h2h Commando with out giving up any skills.
HtH commando comes with paried weapons anyway.
I don't see any problems with this, it's apparent you're GM's running a pretty dang high powered game as it is.

nope, paired weapons applies to any weapon that can be used in one hand.

Unless you are a gunfighter or gunslinger, paired weapons only applies to ancient style weapons, and like he said, one handed ones at that.
So my answer is he would be considered firing wild on all 4 guns. Which gives you a good excuse to just drain the clips into the beast, you're wild anyway.

Bloody well figured as much. Makes all kinds of sense that the same skills one develops for working a pair of hand weapons will also have a direct translation to firearms. Sure! Thanks Palladium!
Actually, that's just Nekira's interpretation, and many (dare I say most) people on the boards disagree.

don't listen to Nekira... normal rules usage has it that only a handful of specialist OCCs can pull off paired firearm firing without just shooting wild.
It's one of the points where she just ignores the rules and commonsense both and goes her way.

Well there is a few other OCC's other than the Gunfighter and 'Slinger that can get it. The Sheriff and I think the Justice Ranger from New West plus one or two of the "revised" Headhunters from Canada as well.
Illithid13 check out the "SuperSlinger" Cyborg from New West as well.
