In Run&Gun p.33 you could read that the Savalette Guardian could only shoot in burst fire at the expance of a complexe action
that pretty absurd to have this feature when every Pistol with Semi-Automatic capability is able to do a Semi-Auto Burst at the expance of a Complexe action for the same effect
so what's the point in buying a Savalette Guardian other than brand recognition ?
-
Pre-errata? Long Bursts and a better understanding of fire modes.
Post-errata? Burst Fire.
-
I'm not sure to undertand your question ... was it a question ?
-
Prior to the errata that was released for Run and Gun, the benefit of the Complex Action BF mode was being able to use a Long Burst (which requires a weapon with BF mode and a Complex Action).
After the errata was released, the Complex action requirement was removed from the weapon.
-
It was one of the many copy paste issues from 4th.
-
Finchette (Sp) Executive Action was also fixed in that errata.
-
So if I Understand you well
The Savalette Guardian now have the Burst Fire for Complexe action Option
but the pistol with SA don't
right ?
-
No, it has normal burst fire, meaning it can do it on a simple action
-
it can fire both a 3 round and 6 round burst.
Semi-auto weapons can only fire a 3 round burst.
-
many thanks to you all

SS Pistols fire one round only as a simple action and resets recoil before their next shot.
SA Pistols fire one round as a simple action, or three rounds as a complex action. Recoil builds until reset with a non-attack acction.
SA/BF Pistols act the same as SA pistols in SA mode. In BF mode they fire three rounds as a simple action, or six rounds as a complex action. Recoils builds until reset with a non-attack action.
Helps sometimes in this game to have things spelled out plainely,
-
And the guardian is a SA/BF pisotl?
-
That, the Executive Action light pistol and probably a few more
-
The errata does not say that the Savalette Guardian and the Fichetti Executive are SA/BF weapons, it says that they can fire burst with a simple action.
Say otherwise, they can fire 1 or 3 rounds with a simple action, but they still cannot fire 6 rounds with a complex action as they are not real BF weapons.
-
Look at their modes. It says SA/BF doesn't it?
