Cluster Damage?

"The weapon functions like an "LB-15X" in game play, using the 15 column of the missile hits table and dividing its damage into five point groups." I was under the impression, and Megamek agrees with me, that each individual pellet has its own location roll. TBH the SBGR would be a terrible weapon if it clustered into fives like a missile system.— The preceding unsigned comment was posted by name (talk • contribs) .

Agreed - that is my understanding as well. ClanWolverine101 04:03, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Its both right and wrong. The statement is a corruption of the Unbound rules for the weapon, to directly quote that book - "A Silver Bullet round inflicts damage in the same manner as an LRM-15. The damage roll is broken up into 5-point increments when determining location." However Tactical Operations version uses the present cluster rules just like LB-X Autocannons, where you roll to hit for each "pellet". Cyc 08:51, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Noted. If someone would like to post the Unbound Rules in the "Notes" section, that's cool. I'm correcting the text as written. ClanWolverine101 00:25, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Rules Level

The Silver Bullet Gauss has been Level 3 or Experimental rules from its introduction, not certain what the 3051 & 3080 dates mean. was the 3080 date when it dropped from experimental rules to Advanced Rules? --Cameron (talk) 22:24, 17 August 2014 (PDT)
