Re: [DL] Time for an official ruling

Here are the ROF rules I impose in my game. I posted 
them here long ago and they were met with much 
agreement. Use them as you like.

SA-Single Action 
DA-Double Action 
GP-Gatling Weapon 

SA weapons can fire once per action card or can 'fan' up 
to 6 shots at a -4 to the roll. 
Fannin' - the number of shots to be fanned must be 
announced before the roll is made. One bullet hits for 
every successes and raise. Roll a d20 for each hit to 
determine wound locations. Only the first fanned bullet 
can be 'called'. Raises have no effect on hit locations 
for fanned shots. Roll damage for each bullet separately.
 
DA weapons can fire up to two bullets per card. To fire 
a second shot the shootist must declare this as his 
intent. Most DA's suffer stiff trigger pulls and receive 
a -2 penalty to the roll if a second shot is attempted 
on one card. Only one roll is made per gun, per card. 
The second shot hits only on a raise. Again only the 
first bullet can be 'called'. Raises have no 
effect on hit locations for multiple shots. Roll damage 
for each bullet separately.
 
GP weapons must fire 3 bullets on every trigger pull. 
Score one hit for every success and raise. Roll hit 
location randomly or group a hit in the same location 
for each red chip spent (this must be announced and 
chips spent, prior to rolling hit locations). Whither 
random or grouped, roll damage for each bullet 
separately.
