I always thought it was clear-cut and treated the 6 rounds as an absolute requirement, then again, I never over analysed the text when I was in my teens. Whatever approach we do decide upon, I reckon it should only be noted once, probably in a footnote on the weapons page. Iain. ========== In order to be able to use a missile weapon, you must have sufficient ammunition of the correct calibre. The following list shows the calibre of each weapon, the amount that is used every time the weapon is fired, and the number of rounds that you possess at the start of your adventure: Machine Pistol Calibre: 9mm Rate of Fire: 6 Initial No. of Rounds: 30 The initial number of rounds should be noted in the Ammo Pouch section of your Action Chart. Missile weapons cannot be used if you run out of ammunition or possess rounds of the wrong calibre. However, the opportunity may arise for you to replenish your supply of ammunition and/or discover a weapon of the correct calibre. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jonathan Blake <blake.jon@xxxxxxxxx> To: projectaon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, 12 June, 2008 8:42:40 PM Subject: [projectaon] Re: 01HH Comments On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 2:07 PM, Iain Smith <iainsmith@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I'm not sure, I always played it so that if you have less than 6 rounds you > can't use it.

Perhaps we can suggest some alternatives: 1) The Machine Pistol is unusable with fewer than 6 rounds. 2) The Machine Pistol can be treated as a Pistol by selecting the rate of fire (especially when there are fewer than 6 rounds). 3) The Machine Pistol can be used with less than 6 rounds, but it exhausts the supply of 9mm ammunition. 4) Similar to 3) but the Machine Pistol can only be used with 3 rounds or more. -- Jon ~~~~~~ Manage your subscription at //www.freelists.org/list/projectaon __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
