Marlowe: Half Action Move to cover, Half Action Attack

Though you're aware, in a strange, detached way, of the holes in your skull (well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration), but standing still is just gonna get you killed. You rush to the left, pulling yourself behind the couch. You don't waste time lying low, though. The ganger starts to move but you bring your pistol back up. You fire a shot at the center mass, squarely on the middle of his torso - but the bullet smashes into the wall behind the ganger instead. You can only stare in disbelief. Emperor on Earth, you've gotten rusty.

The bigger ganger simply spins around as you rush to cover, trying to keep on you, and opens fire with his lasgun a split second after you get your shot off.

Ganger #1: Full Action Semi-Auto Burst
Ganger #2: Full Action Semi-Auto Burst

This time you more feel than see the volley that smashes into the couch. It's a heavy old thing, but you know it won't stand long in this barrage.

Damage Roll: [9+3=12], Cover damaged!
Damage Roll: [2+3=5], Cover damaged!

The other ganger fires too, but his volley hits the wall somewhere behind you. You get the feeling he's not quite proficient with the weapon as his comrade.

Marlowe: Half Action Aim, Half Action Attack

Braving the fire, you stand back up behind your makeshift barricade and aim your Akroxis squarely on the big ganger. He's shouting something crude, but it barely registers to you as you steady your arms and squeeze the trigger. The Akroxis booms once more and this time you've got him.

It's a body shot, like they told you, straight at the biggest target. The heavy naval round smashes into the ganger's unprotected torso and sends him grunting back, but it's nowhere near enough to take him down.

Ganger Damage Roll: [3+4=7]-3 (Toughness Bonus)= [4] (best result from Tearing)

Ganger #1: Full Action Semi-Auto Burst
Ganger #2: Full Action Semi-Auto Burst

In response, both of the gangers open up but their shots go wide, cutting black marks in the walls of the apartment. The big one doesn't seem to have any problems with standing out in the open, his face a mask of feral rage - but you're not complaining. There's a lull in battle you use to consider your chances. The couch might be blown beyond use fairly quickly. The kitchen half-wall might be a better option, if you're willing to run there. Otherwise, you don't see too much of use in the apartment. You could just keep on shooting - though your clip is gonna be running low soonish, and the rest are in your bag - or try something unorthodox.

((If those pesky lasguns weren't Reliable, both gangers' guns would've jammed right here. Goddammit.))

We could try to charge in for a point blank shot on the big ganger..
