So, this gives rise to an interesting problem my playgroup was discussing. If a vampire with a .44 were to use Blur to get multiple strikes on the first round, can Glaser Rounds be used on the second and third strikes with the .44? I got the feeling that Glasers were meant to be used on the second round, as opposed to the second strike, but there's nothing on the card that suggests such a reading.

on the card it says that glaser rounds may not be used first time the gun is used in a combat does this mean if i use my gun in a previous combat can i use glaser rounds on my first strike and first round in a new combat -- Peter Gordon WILSMORE, cs95...@cs.uwa.edu.au, First Year Student

You must be using a gun for the second time in any single combat in order to load Glaser Rounds into it. Tom Wylie rec.games.trading-cards.* Network Representative for aa...@cats.ucsc.edu Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

As opposed to, "the first time this gun is ever used in combat". That's the way I've always understood it. Makes sense. -- Meow!

The main concern with glaser rounds is that you not trot them out on the first strike you make in a combat. If you can get additional strikes, and therefore use them on the first round, more power to you. [ quoted text not captured ]

>You must be using a gun for the second time in any single combat in order >to load Glaser Rounds into it. This has almost come up... Is a use actually 'firing' the gun, or declaring the gun as your strike? For example, if I maneuver to long with a gun but get pulled back to short by some Mind Moving Tremere who uses Blood Fury on me, can I play Glaser rounds on the next shot? By a strict reading, I've used the gun and merely had it neutralized by Blood Fury (...the weapon does no damage...) the same as if it had been dodged. Still, it sounds kind of fishy.
