Simple Critical Miss Table for Automatic Pistols

[This article is part of a series of system neutral Six-Sided Critical Miss Tables.]

Different types of firearms malfunction differently even when they are approximately the same size. The sixth table in our saga of slip ups is for use with automatic pistols:

Critical Miss Table for Automatic Pistols
1d6	Result
1	Drop weapon.
2	Weapon jams.
3	Weapon jams and slips from grasp.
4	Ricochet in random direction.
5	Mechanism breaks.
6	Shoot self.

Random directions for firearms, whether caused by accidental discharge or ricochet, may be determined by the usual means (1d6 for hexes, 1d8 for squares, or a compass die) modified by a roll on the following table:

1dF	Result
+	Upward vertical
0	Horizontal
-	Downward vertical

A d6 may be substituted if your Fudge dice cannot be found.
