I thought about this a bit more. Unless there's a stylistic reason you DON'T want two pistol blazing gunfights, using 2 pistols is mechanically equivalent to using one auto 2 gun, except the DM goes up by 1. Now, firing 2 auto 3 pistols... I don't know how to differentiate between firing one...

I've never played Traveller before & I'm working from the 3.1 playtest rules. Pg. 12, Combat Round 1: Kathya now chooses which die is Timing and which is Effect. She picks a 2 for Timing and 3 for Effect. Her Initiative die becomes a 2. Her Effect is a 3+DMs=6. Her damage is: 6 (Effect)x1 + 3...

So, there's a rule in the skills section for doing two things at once: -1 DM to both actions, roll an extra die, the lowest die is timing. Would that rule apply to shooting two guns at once? Is there a reason it shouldn't? Just... if it does, that probably deserves at least a sidebar/text-box...
