In SWG we just used the given RPG-System - but with weak weapons and medium/strong armour. So it was real PvP, but it took time and required (group) tactics to get the enemy down (i.E. concentrated fire). It was fun, thrilling and action packed and of cause somewhat problematic at times, heh.
Since this is totally different in SL and especially in Midian City I'm trying to obeserve any fight scene I run into to get an idea how it works here. And as long as none of Rynard's buddies is in trouble, he won't be so stupid to get himself involved. Probably it's not very clever to admit oocly, but Rynard is a wimp if it comes to shootings, all he knows is how to pull the trigger and spray bullets in the general direction of the target, hoping that at least one bullet will hit something. And while doing so he will look for cover and jump behind it, even if it means hurting himself. However, he compensates his lack of fighting skill with his agility (tries to). And if he's ever in a situation where he himself has to to gun someone down, he will try to do it as cowardly as possible.
If you ever ask(ed) yourself why especially soldiers, mercs and cops with big guns scare him you got the answer now. They know how to hit, he doesn't. He has just different qualities.
Okay, that was pretty much offtopic. Regarding the topic his actions will take about 2 - 8 seconds. He will spray up to five bullets (emptying his revolver rapidly) and try to get the hell out of the line of fire.
Example:
1. aims, shoots, is about to jump behind the table/corner a.s.o
- waits for reaction
2. (probably gets hit), reaches cover (or not), reloads, looks
- waits for reaction
3. (probably gets hit), sprays another round, tries to increase the distance to the thread
or
3. is forced to stay, reloads ... (and tries his best to not get killed.)
-
I'll use brief descriptions of (very) close time frames, in which Rynard is maybe just "about to" do something, thus giving a chance to intercept it.
Well, this would be style I prefer at least, keeping it as vibrant and open, as well as fast as possbile.
