yep thats what we do actually we where even adding together the close combat
damage instead of making a str roll and just adding the bonus die to it,
till i read somewhere in the errata:" dont do that"

no normally not most of the time they just stand around and shoot "rambo

Rifles are allmost unheard of in my group but actually they would have been
pretty useless till now most of the time they had the combat up close and
personal being attackt by unarmed walking deads in train waggons or ambushed
by undeat coyotes in a small cave and there the rifle would have been at a
big disadvantage once the nastys got close what usally was just a matter of
one or two actions.
