I am playing an Agent Ex CK, and using the burst ability.
I expected that to only work with assault rifles and machine guns, but it's working fine with the blasta-type guns as well.
Should it?

From the game manual:
"Burst Fire is most effective when combined with the AgentEX weapon of choice, the efficient and deadly machine pistols of 2217. Therefore, when using a weapon of type Pistol or SMG, the AgentEX gains an additional +D4 Accuracy to all attacks made in the round when Burst Fire is used."

That could actually make stun-guns useable. It sure helps, as does dual-shooting them (for Gunslingers). |

I now wielding an Ares Gamma Mk 4 as my primary weapon and an mk251 bounty as my secondary. I can burst with my mk251 bounty. Makes the burst fire an extremely nice ability to have ....

I killed a few by mistake  It does work well to avoid killing gangers and keeping your heat down. Use 2 stun guns while traveling through gang territory and switch to kill weapons if you need them for a mission. |

You can always stun a target that you need to kill, and that always works just as well as if you had killed him with physical damage. Of course, if what you mean is 'OH NO! I see a Predator Drone! Quick, unequip these blaster guns and get out rifles and assault rifles!" ... then I perfectly agree.  |

I have an AgentEx CK whom I have equipped with the M6 Assault rifle, which shows up as a machine gun. But I am doing far, far better with hitting the robots if I just aim than if I burst -- and indeed plain, no aim and no burst does better than burst, accuracy-wise. "Random is clumpy" but I think I am detecting an effect here. |
