By: Dustin M. Ramsey (DustinM@rifts-rpg.com)

Regardless of the size of the clip used in a weapon, bursts from that weapon always use the same number of shots. Therefore, larger clips allow you to fire a larger numbers of bursts.

Short Burst	4D6 x 2 M.D.	4	5	7 (plus 2 singles)	15
Long Burst	4D6 x 3 M.D.	10	2	3	6
Full Burst	4D6 x 7 M.D.	20	1	1 (plus 1 long)	3

Example 2: NG-E12 Heavy Plasma Ejector
