Simple Critical Miss Table for Machine Guns

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

Even the most fearsome weapons have disadvantages. Our ninth table of frustration is for use with machine guns (mounted or otherwise):

Critical Miss Table for Machine Guns
1d6	Result
1	Weapon jams.
2	Weapon jams.
3	Ricochet in random direction.
4	Ricochet in random direction.
5	Trigger stuck.
6	Mechanism breaks.

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 are missing in action.
