Firing ambidextrous
This page covers the rules for 'firing ambidextrous', a part of the ranged combat rules. The rules for close combat are here, those for Movement in combat here. An overview of the combat rules is here.
Firing ambidextrous:
Firing ambidextrous, in other words, firing a gun in each hand, is possible, but strongly handicapped for most characters. There is a level 6 perk, ambidextrous, that negates that handicap completely, however.
Basically, the minimal strength of the gun used is raised by 1, aimed fire is impossible, the two shots fired (or two bursts) count as one shot, in so far as action point spending is concerned and cost one AP more. If the guns used differ on AP costs, the cost used as basis is the higher one.
Like with a normal burst, each shot is rolled by itself, both for hitting at all as well as for the damage.
Furthermore, it's differed between shooting two equal weapons, two similar ones or two completely different ones.
When shooting two equal guns, the handicap is 25 points.
When shooting two similar guns (those would be in the same column in the list below) the handicap is 40 points.
When shooting two completely different guns (those would be in different columns in the list below) the handicap is 55 points.
Was Waffen angeht die eigentlich beidhändige abgefeuert werden (also alles was unter Gewehre und Schwere Waffen steht), gilt ähnliches, nur dass man besonders stark sein muss. Die Mindeststärke einer jeden Waffe verdoppelt sich, also ist dies ein Trick der fast nur Super-Mutanten und Power-Rüstungsträgern vorbehalten ist.
Beim Verwenden von zwei gleichen Waffen die unter diese beidhändige Kategorie fallen beträgt die Erschwernis 25 Punkte.
Beim Verwenden von zwei ähnlichen Waffen (in der unten stehenden Liste in der selben Spalte) ist die Erschwernis 40 Punkte.
Beim Verwenden von zwei grundverschiedenen Waffen (in der unten stehenden Liste in verschiedenen Spalten) ist die Erschwernis 55 Punkte.
