Talk:Future Imperfect chapter 3

--Melonberg 21:44, 17 March 2016 (MST) I know about your justified hate-on regarding the big rifle being the ultimate weapon. Here's another thought: Is there anything to reflect the notion that in close-quarters, if you're trying to fight with a rifle, it might be more difficult to defend yourself? You can feasibly block a melee attack with your rifle, but no small part of being able to block and dodge in a hand-to-hand fight requires one's hands to be free... Now, if someone closes in and you use your rifle as a melee weapon (club to butt-stroke them) or use an attached bayonet (like a spear, I guess?), that's fine, but while you're doing that, you're not shooting them. If you block a melee attack while using your rifle, should you have to make a breakdown roll for it? If you just took a shot, or plan on taking a shot and a melee attack is made against you, should you face some kind of penalty to block or dodge? Just some thoughts.
