I believe that it would be better to update the section text to better match
the later books, i.e.:
"For every bullet you decide to fire (minimum: one round; maximum: eight
rounds), add an additional point to your total."
Also, after skimming book 2, the rule seems much more solidly worded:
"Add together your Driving and Shooting skill scores. Now decide how many
rounds you wish to fire at the clansman (minimum: one round; maximum: four
rounds), and add the number of rounds to your skills total."
But in that case, there is no random number to account for chance.
Iain.

Surely it is possible to get 14 or more without firing a single bullet - does
this make sense?
I'd say we must have a note to say you must fire at least one bullet.
