[gurps] [3e] Increasing the RoF of some shotguns

[Brandon Cope]

Slide(pump)-action shotguns have a RoF of 2~, while semi-automatics are
3~. However, there were some slide-action shotguns built (eg, Winchester
M1897) that lacked a trigger disconnect. What this meant was that if the
trigger was held back, operating the slide not only chambered a round
but fired it; this meant that such a shotgun could be fired as fast as
one could operate the pump.

Now, the question is, should this have any game effects? My initial
thoughts are to apply a -2 to Guns (Shotgun), halve Acc and increase RoF
to 3~ (sort of a compromise between the rules for Fanning and Slipping
the Hammer for single-action revolvers).
