This is probably a bit of a newbie-ish question, but do you still halve your strike bonus when making a pulse shot?
I guess the best example would be if using a Coalition assault rifle or (in my case) a Wilks 447 Pulse Rifle. Since it's described as being three near-simultaneous shots, I figured you wouldn't take a strike penalty, but maybe I'm wrong.
The GM seems to flip-flop between allowing it and not allowing it, and he admitted he's not sure if that's the case either. So I
figured I'd ask on here and see what everyone else thought .

Re: Pulse shots
remember there is a cumulative 33% chance that after every pulse blast the gun explodes doing 3d6x100 damage over a 90 foot radius.

Means there is a 1% chance that my russian roulette loving crazy PC is going to get his wish.
You can bet which way the dice are going to roll every single time.

But isn't there a 98% chance that 75% of rat-bastards statistics are made up 50% of the time?
80% of board posters know that.

But only 67% of posters that know that will admit to it, and even then only 74% of the time.
So if my math is right that should mean that rat-bastard is really KS pretending to be another poster...
It is safe to assume that the math is NEVER right.
