It seems to me that those rules for those weapons appear more akin to a shotgun then to full automatic weapon. Though the system would work fine if sustained fire were to spray an area or to give suppression fire. Too bad that fully automatic fire to a single target is still not properly represented, and that previously published weapons that are meant to hearken to full auto still don’t function that way.
I think I may amalgamate my previously stated house rule with this one, and then hopefully I’ll have all the bases covered. But there is no way to tell until its play tested.

Now I wonder how they would handle flechete launchers?

LocTaal this is for you. Though I can’t tell you whether on not its official, (a buddy of mind gave me a word DOC with a multitude of force powers, some official and some not I would guess).

Two-weapon combat
Control + Sense
Control difficulty: Difficult
Sense difficulty: Moderate
Required Powers: Lightsabre Combat, Combat Sense
Effect: This power allows a Jedi to wield two Lightsabres simultaneously. A character wielding two Lightsabres, who successfully activates the power, may attack and parry once each round with no multiple action penalties (one strike and one parry totals one action, not two), although other penalties still apply, including the penalty for keeping the power up. If a character makes no attack in a round and chooses only to parry, he receives a +2D bonus to parry and also receives a +2d bonus at attempts to deflect blaster blots. Other wise the power grants all bonuses given by the Lightsabre Combat power.

lightsaber, yet another weapon that more than one isn't required Razz

cinematic wise, 2 lightsabers is pretty cool, but realistically, why not just use one, and not deal with all the multiple action penalties of 2, if you're going to carry 2 lightsabers, only use the second if you lose the first or get disarmed or something, you know?

I agree that realistically using one lightsaber would be easier than using two. But cinematically, it just pretty much rocks... Very Happy

True, its stupid to want to wield two Lightsabres, but then again look at what game we are talking about here.
I think suspension of disbelief is kind of a given. Wink

Besides, it just looks cool. 8)

Very cool. When Anakin was fighting with both lightsabers in AOTC, that was awesome!

Yeah, it was, but I think it that fight could have been filmed better. It really did not show all that much technique, but that might have been due to the actor ineptitude. Razz

True, but then again I would cut off the hand of a guy that called himself “Annie” as well. Laughing

8) The high "coolness" factor is part of what makes Star Wars what it is.

Right, after all what’s the point of playing a cinematic game if you can’t be cinematic?
