Even so, according to Gurps it's impossible for a semi-auto to fire
more then 3 rounds per second. Even if it it is a highly trained
trick-shooter, that still means there's a problem with the rules. He's
not the only one, I've seen other that fire faster then Gurps claims is
possible. There was a show on the History channel recently about
marksmen. There were some guys firing faster with a revolver,
accurately, then most can with an automatic.
It takes a lot of practice to shoot three rounds a second and *hit*
something. I know, I've tried and done it during sims training. For
most folks, who have informal training, two rounds accurately is going
to be a stretch. If you run someone with a skill level like the
professional shooters, you have to look at how they use their skill; is
it in real life situations like being part of a SEAL Team doing CQB or
is it being a gamesman playing IPSC or IDPA and shooting paper targets
with a race tuned weapon firing loads that are matched to the gun and
just barely make the minimum power factor to be rated Major? When the
targets shoot back, shooting is a whole 'nother game.
