The optional rule "Continuous Fire:" Why would you NOT use that (if being used)

[Cool Breeze]

Somewhat late to the party of this very interesting discussion, but wish to weigh in. I'm fairly happy with the rules as written, except for the, "choose whichever ammo you like" portion, which aside from being historically ridiculous (hard to see out of a gun port with smoke in the air and slick bloody floors what the ships are doing in relation to each other), it seems pretty cheesy. I'd say it could only be done with ball ammo or as others have suggested, it requires a reload action in the action phase where you pick the ammo then.

I agree with this.
