Here’s the Official ruling from the Game Designer:

Any form of burst or suppression fire takes one round.

In terms of the number of bullets/bolts required for a burst, for spread burst, you need a minimum of three bullets/bolts per target. For aimed burst, use the same unless the weapon is something like a revolver or some such where “burst fire” is actually representing a “double tap”. Likewise for fully automatic weapons like machine guns, bursts may trivially go through tens of bullets.

The rules allow for finetuning, so GMs with a plethora of gun expertise can adjust the rate of ammunition to suit specific weapons. The weapons in the HARP SF core rules are deliberately generic. I fully expect that we will have a lot more detail in a future sourcebook or combat supplement.

When designing  your character for survivability, it is important to pick skills and talents that enhance your Defensive Bonus (DB).

Defensive Bonus is the Sum of:

1. Quickness Bonus x 2
2. Armor Bonus
3. Shield Bonus
4. Talent Bonuses
5. Cover Bonus [Soft, Hard, Reinforced] either half or full*
6. Maneuver Bonuses*
7. Quality Bonus
8. Special Bonuses*

• = Those bonuses vary each combat (or even each round).  The others are “static” based on the character’s skills/talents.
• We’re not using Armor Bonus, instead we’re using the variable armor tables from the Space Master game.  This means there is a “to hit” roll based on your weapon type vs the armor on that weapon’s table.  Then it says how much damage is done and the type of critical.
