Firearms
Firearms in game are scarce and can only be taken by starting characters who have taken the Officer profession.
All guns used by players MUST be cap guns ONLY.
In order to know where a bullet has hit on a target, there are two types of shots.
Called
Applies in a low or no combat situation, with 30 seconds of aiming, you may specify a location on a person to shoot with a firearm, using the 'Through' or 'Heavy Through' call followed by the location.
For example
‘Bob, THROUGH, left arm.’
NOTE: This is of course assuming that your gun does not misfire (below)
Pulled
Applies in all other situations where a gun is fired and is not a called shot.
The shot will always count as a body shot.
You must clearly be aiming at and able to identify your target. A shield will block a pulled THROUGH call but not a pulled HEAVY THROUGH call.
For example
‘Bob, THROUGH.’
Misfire
If your gun misfires its cap and does not ‘go off’ as a cap gun should, then your gun has also misfired IC and that bullet is wasted.
