Each projectile fired is additionally affected by the wielder's aim variance. '''AimVariance''' begins with a standard {{dice tooltip|2d20}} dice roll shared by all missile weapons. The value can then be modified by attributes, skills, weapon mods, and other factors, and it can sometimes be reduced to 0. | Each projectile fired is additionally affected by the wielder's aim variance.

Also, info on damage calculations is not found in the linked penetration article, as claimed. Rather than adding it there, it might be better to explain the damage calculation here for a ranged weapon & ammo, similar to the example in the [[Melee weapon combat#Damage Rolls|Melee weapon combat]] article.}} | |||
After a projectile actually hits a target - whether or not that was the intended target - regular damage calculations occur. However, there is a -5 DV penalty. If the target has [[Swift Reflexes]], the penalty will not be inflicted. If the creature is immobile, the DV is set to a flat -100. | |||
