So what you are saying with this above table is if someone had a WWII Garand 
rifle and a war manual that says it should shoot  8 shots in a clip in 20 
seconds and can replace a full clip and shoot another in the rest of the 
minute, that would be 16 shots per minute or 1/1.  And if he has enough dex 
to do the reload gracefully, he can jdouble that.

I think that would work out in gameplay.  This means that its 1 bullet every 
round (5 seconds).

So when you are getting 4 bullets every round,
...do you roll dex for each bullet?
...do you roll dex for the first bullet only then subtract one for each 
bullet?  (3D6 vs Dx, then just compute 3D6 vs DX-1, 3D6 vs DX-2, 3D6 vs 
DX-3)
...do you roll dex for hitting, then roll 1D6 for each bullet after that on 
a 50% chance?

How do you handle "walking the gun", where you walk the bullets from the 
ground to the face as a way of targeting?

Hailmelee,
John Paul
