The character in question is my harrowed doomsayer that is on Banshee after 
the Unity.  He got ded(but got better) before the unity adventure.  So 
having no shooting score is out of the question.  I can go up in every thing 
to get my toughness up to something like a 19 or 20 then I'll be a vertable 
tank.  When you add in that I have molecular cohesion, nuff said.  My 
biggest problem is the simple fact that I lost so many skills and edges 
cause my marshall said if I didn't that I would be badder than the 
Reckoners.  Not to mention the fact that most of my attributes dropped 
drastically.

I still don't see why you have to be 2 fisted 2 gun kid to be able to shoot 
someone with a pistol more than once.  Why can't I just shoot someone with 
my single pistol more than once with +2 modifiers for each extra shot.  To 
me that gets rid of me being able to shoot extra bullets with a semi auto 
pistol.

I guess I don't think that SW works for the Deadlands system.  I'll just 
stick to classic.  I have more fun with it anyway.

Thanx for hearing me out,
Taco Bob
