But the alternative section, where you fail, implies that he kicks the gun out of your hand while you're still trying to get shots off, so there's some chance of failure beyond your control.

Ah, but you do know when you hit him, because he screams and you see him fall in the rear-view mirror :P

I'm against rewriting the text, since it makes perfect sense to me, if I was shooting a gun I'd keep firing until I either hit or run out of ammo, not decide to fire 3 rounds and test my luck to see if I hit. IMO the footnote would be better as a clarification. If I recall correctly, there are only a handful of occurences (well 2 hands, less than 10?).
Just so we're all on the same page, in this section Cal is firing blindly over his shoulder. He doesn't have a perfect way of knowing when he's hit his target. It seems reasonable to me that he might fire four rounds, for example, hoping that is enough to hit the attacker. I'm OK however with leaving this as a footnote. -- Jon ~~~~~~ Manage your subscription at //www.freelists.org/list/projectaon __________________________________________________________ Not happy with your email address?.
