Well, what I am doing to differentiate Gatling pistols ('cause I agree, with
the new rules for Double-Action pistols, it kind of reduces a Gatling
pistol's appeal) is that said Gatling pistol will either only roll once for
Hit Location, or perhaps have a modifier to the Hit Location roll (still
working on that one) that would tend to land the other shots in the same
general area as the first one.  (Say, a +/-2 to the roll that is applied to
bring subsequent Hit Location rolls towards the first hit's result?  Hulk
brain hurt, but if it doesn't prove to be too complicated, that might
works...)
