My GM was generous and let me trade my pointed stick for a rock and a wet-paper-towel armor breastplate.

But I can't find the passage that I remember stating that the pulses were a microsecond apart... so I guess they are actually simultaneous.

Umm, were trying to give some explanation to the original poster, not explain away any explanations given. If the original poster thinks there's a prob with an explanation, he can tell us.

Or I can point it out myself.

LASERS HAVE NO RECOIL!!! even if you had to feather the trigger, there would be no loss in accuracy for an experienced sniper.Danger wrote:It has nothing to do with recoil. It's targeting. You're still trying to hit a single target with more than one shot. Thus, you lose some accuracy.
FefnaGale wrote:a laser rifle that has recoil related penalties is dumb.
, the behaviour goes unchallenged because of that, probably gains a certain amount of legitimacy in the eyes of careless readers.

How is that different to just accepting that the darn weapon breaks the laws of physics in our real world, but it makes perfect sense in Palladium?
This weapon sucks anyway. Its just a laser that does a lot of damage. Its a ROLL playing weapon. Not a ROLE playing weapon. Challange yourself and make a vagabond with the cooking skill (as presented in the latest Rifter...cool skill by the way) armed with nothing but a Wilks laser pistol, an SDC knife in your boot, a .22 derringer, and a partial suit of Plastic man armor (just the chest plate). Oh yea, and a spatula. Now thats role playing!
