Iirc i'm at a 7 year olds birthday. The 6 armor absorbs 6 dice of dmg and the remaining 4d6 apply to the test subject within.

So, that 4 points of DV that's left; what does it to to the meat-bag? Do I apply a 4/10 multiplier to the "soft" Damage and use that to hit the target, or do I use those 4 points in some other way, like maybe directly? (And if I do it that way, wow does that make the gun rather wimpy!)
