[DL] Recoil for auto & non-auto weapons [PEG]

[Patrick Downs <knick_nevin@yahoo.com>]

Maybe this topic has come up before and I never
noticed.
In the main rulebook, it says that recoil causes a
cumulative -2 penalty to every shot per action after
the first, to a maximum of -6.

Four questions:

First, does this apply to double-action pistols?
 first shot, no penalty; second shot, -2

Second, does the recoil penalty apply to the off-hand
if two double-action pistols are used?
 EXAMPLE: shooter using two double-action guns, one in
each hand
 first shot, 1st in L hand, no penalty; 
 second shot, 2nd in L hand, -2 penalty;
 third shot, 1st in R hand, -4 penalty; 
 fourth shot, 2nd in R hand, -6 penalty
OR
 first shot, 1st in L hand, no penalty; 
 second shot, 2nd in L hand, -2 penalty;
 third shot, 1st in R hand, no penalty; 
 fourth shot, 2nd in R hand, -2 penalty

Third, when this applies to automatics, does it apply
to each time the gun is fired, or to each "shot"?
 EXAMPLE: shooter using gatling pistol rolls an 11
 hits with 1 shots because he got a hit (TN 5) and a
raise
OR
 hits with 1 shot because he got a hit (TN 5) but the
second shot had a -2 penalty (requiring a roll of 12,
TN 5 +5 for the second shot +2 for recoil)

Four, does the ROF for gatling pistols mean that the
shooter can fire a burst of 3 bullets 3 times? or is
it just listed as "3" because it's supposed to
simplify the "3 bullets in one burst" rule?
