Re: [DL] DA and SA in addition

Personally, I prefer the fannin' rules in the Revised
Edition.  This is copied and pasted straight out of
the Players Guide PDF, page 124:

"Fanning is a maneuver your hero can perform if he has
at least 1 level in shootin’: pistol. The fanner
also needs one free hand and a single-action revolver
in the other. All you one-armed bandits are out of
luck.

The rate of fire is 1 to 6. It’s the
shooter’s choice as to how many bullets he want
to waste. Even if a gun holds more than six rounds,
that’s the most a gunslinger can fan in one
action. Fanning one shot isn’t really worth
while, but it can be done.

To resolve the attack, pick a target and figure out
the TN based on the range and any other modifiers.
Fanning a pistol isn’t very accurate, so the
shooter has to subtract –2 from his roll for
slapping his gun around like a redheaded stepchild.

A success, and each raise thereafter, causes a bullet
to hit. The firer chooses which targets he hits,
though any after the first must be within 2 yards of
the last target hit."
