There's nothing stopping you from attacking with six guns, except the fact that splitting your pool six ways meant you most likely miss all of those attacs.

By the rules of Shadowrun your wrong you can't have more than 2 simple attacks per initiative pass so your other 2 (4) arms are useless
You can attack with 6 guns in one simple action(or comblex if using melee or shooting full-auto), by splitting you dicepools sixways.

To quote the BBB:
Quote
Attacker Using a Second Firearm Characters can use two pistol- or SMG-class weapons, one in each hand, firing both with a single Simple Action. Doing so, however, requires that the character split his dice pool between the attacks.

So yeah, a character with six arms could fire six pistols/SMGs... but with basically no chance of hitting anything. Exceptions for groups who get bonus dice for sheer STYLE ;)

I disagree from the combat section P.144 SR4a

The acting character declares his actions for the Action Phase. He may take two Simple Actions or one Complex Action.

From P.147 SR4a for Simple Actions

A character may fire a ready firearm in single-shot, semi-automatic, or burst-fire mode via a Simple Action If a character has one weapon in each hand, he may fire once with each weapon by expending one Simple Action

If you only have 2 simple actions available you can only fire 2 guns

Actually, the way I read that sentence is that you fire both weapons with one Simple Action. So, you'd get two simple actions and be able to fire SA/BF weapons twice in each hand in one IP.

oooo oo oooo good idea i'll be a third drake follower lol, now we shall create an army! or maybe a hmhvv infected...gah i dunno

Yes, if I manage to have wolf tapping on my shoulder and some silly ghoul or Vampire got to close. . .   Well lets say only one of us would be leaving the fight in anything other than a body bag.

As for a meta type, I think I would stay human.  But I guess I am tall enough and so is my family that it is possible that I could turn into an elf.

ahhem, If a real Vampire started working on me I would grab a nice sword and chop off his head.  Or if I get to be Kali just mana bolt his tail end as he was running screaming down the road.  Real Vampires are evil sneaky monsters that need to die.  Now fantasy Vampires are the eternal bad boy that you hope will fall in love with you and you can change into a somewhat good guy with a dangerous streak.  The kind of streak that makes you feel that you are in danger and never know when that last shoe will drop.  But then again I am so not a girl anymore but a full grown woman!   :P

Indeed. The point is, you may fire both weapons with a single action, but you have to split your dicepool to do so. So yes, epic akimbo gun firing, but your chances of actually HITTING something drastically decline.

see thats the difference i'm talking about, most of the crowd around my age has only encountered vampires in the form of twilight so they would confuse the real vamp with the twilight versons...all i'd have to do to enhance the trick is swallow my pride and put on some glitter lol

A character may fire a ready firearm in single-shot, semi-automatic, or burst-fire mode via a Simple Action If a character has one weapon in each hand, he may fire once with each weapon by expending one Simple Action
Meaning you shoot both of those guns with that same single action.

SR4A page 150:
"Attacker Using a Second Firearm
Characters can use two pistol- or SMG-class weapons, one in each
hand, firing both with a single Simple Action. Doing so, however, requires
that the character split his dice pool between the attacks. If two
separate skills are being used (Pistols and Automatics), use the smallest
dice pool. Split the pool before applying modifiers. Two-gun attacks
also negate any dice pool bonuses from smartlinks or laser sights.
Additionally, any uncompensated recoil modifiers applicable to one
weapon also apply to the other weapon."

RC page 115:
"Characters with Shiva Arms can choose to wield multiple
weapons (firearms, melee weapons, or a combination of the two)
in combat (Holding Weapons, p. 161, SR4). Weapons wielded
in an off-hand suffer the usual penalty; this applies both to firearms
( p. 142, SR4) and melee weapons (Off-Hand Weapon, p. 148, SR4). The character can
use the Fire Weapon action (p. 136, SR4) with firearms in their
extra hands, though the character must still split their dice pool
between the firearms, and any penalties for using firearms in offhands
still apply."

Meaning a character with six guns in six hands can fire all of them with one simple action by splitting his dicepool sixways.

Just for clarification.. this post was.. what we "think" we'd turn into (( if anything)) right? Not what we'd LIKE to be?

I mean if we're going what we'd LIKE to be... my answer's a abit different. lol

Yes, it's about what Mother Nature most likely has in store for your UGE/Goblinization.
