How to Add the Direct Fire Burst Capability to a Weapon
The Star and the Crescent adds a new capability to direct fire weapons. Using this capability, you can give direct fire weapons the same effects as indirect fire ammunition. This includes both a burst radius and suppressive effects. A weapon with this effect, if it hits, will first 'roll' to see if it kills the target, using the normal 'pK' table for direct fire. It will then check its burst radius, and complete the indirect fire 'pK roll' as if it were an impacting indirect fire round.
