Auto Firing Weapons in B5 (Traveller)

[Marachai]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could point me to the rule for the small arms weapons from the new Babylon 5 rule book, which deals with auto fire ?

There are four or five weapons listed YES as auto fire capable but they arent given a die number with it, like weapons in Travellers main rule book, so I'm not 100% how to handle them. I assume I missed a rule somewhere Could someone point me in the right direction please ?

As I understand it, the new B5 book is a supplement for Babylon 5 using Traveller. The rules presented in the Universe of B5 book show where the setting differs from that presented in the Traveller Core book. Where there isn't a rule in the Universe of B5 book, the core Traveller rulebook rule would be used. So for auto-fire, you want the rule from the core rulebook.

Oh I uderstand that the main rule book is the primary source for the rules. The problem is, all auto fire weapons in the main rule book actually list a number under auto .. So that we know how many d6 to roll to represent the number of bullets etc. In the B5 book, which has weapons not in the main rule book of traveller, all we get is the word YES under Auto. So when a player does auto fire one of these weapons, I am unsure how many d6 should be rolled.

I've looked for a rule in the B5 book which might explain but havent seen one so far, though I may have missed it of course
