I remember when a couple of my players were talking about how the game is 
unrealistic in this, and unrealistic in that, and so I threatened to bust 
out the Phoenix Command system and use it instead.

That ended those grumblings RIGHT away.

"Okay, after aiming for 1.3 seconds, he has a 54% chance to hit 
you.  <roll> He does.  Ballistic time of flight at this range is .21 
seconds, which is still before your next action. He hits you in the 
<checking the d1000 hit location chart> left knee.  Cross-indexing the 
weapon's damage class and penetration at this range means that the round 
shatters your patella and over-penetrates.  Now, let's check for 
knockdown.  The over-penetration means that the KD factor of the round is 
halved. . . "
