    Can anyone explain to me what Called Shots are? I know it's in the manual, but I borrowed the game from a friend and burned the disc, and by that time he has already lost the manual. Grrr. So can anyone please explain?

    Just means that you're aiming to hit a particular body part. Press comma for the head, period for the arms, and forward slash for the legs.

    Or something like that. :grin:

    Cool!

    What exactly are the effects? Because according to this site the Expert status of Firearms gives you a 2/3 penalty of Called Shot. What's the penalty?

    I think there's quite a big penalty for your chances to hit - but if you do hit, the shots are more likely to knock your target unconcious (head) or cripple limbs (arms +legs). Armour helps against the effects of called shots. Hope that helped!
