I put the Dex requirement in as I've double-tapped guns before, and IMO if
you don't have good hand/eye co-ordination and physical timing (with Dex
being the only ability coming close to that) you're never going to pull it
off (I'm clumsy, and even after practicing I accidentally double-tapped my
Glock [w/ a 3.5 lb. trigger pull] as often as I did it on purpose). That,
and it's good for game balance, I think. Doesn't really matter, however -
what are the odds of a combat character in WW *not* having a 12+ Dex? ;)
