SV: [DL] Two guns vs Gattling

[Nils Anker Oldefar <he1021@non.tietgen.dk>]

Hand the boy a gatling rifle (insert evil grin) Witha ROF of 3 and a damage
rating of 4d8, he may shoot slower but he does much more damage.
Science gadget don't suck, in the old days a gatling pistol was the bomb!
(sometimes litteraly) Sure they are meant to break when you need them the
most, but they were inspired by manitous after all (Add a li'l gremlin' and
watch the town burn)

Try having a larger crowd gathering (a lynch mob will do) and remember to
roll for innocent bystanders, WATCH THE GATLING PISTOL EARN IT'S KEEP. I had
four agency characters beat off 25 assailents within 4 rounds, leaving 12
dead as dodo's and the rest scurrying to get to a doctor. 

"Who needs high shootin' rolls, when they're just begging to be shot?"

This is because Gatling pistols suck.  I thought that was the whole point of
Mad Science in general - you think these things will help you, but they have
an annoying habit of turning on you.

But if there's a Mad Science device out there that is completely superior to
a regular weapon, and won't kill it's owner if it's fired more than once a
day... well I'd like to see it.  But I still probably won't use it.
