Apocalypse World / Re: Hi-powered/3-round burst - Question (error?)

Mechanically I get it I guess, but the p. 232 rules still seem more sensible.
First of all a choice within a choice is kinda odd, it doesn't happen among any other choices (gangs, holding etc.). But maybe I'm overthinking that.
But more importantly close/far for burst and +1harm for hi-powered makes more narrative sense to me.

So I'm wondering what is the correct one.

This is second edition. I was looking at p.232 (custom weapons) and the playbooks pdf. I hadn't looked at p.28 which indeed lists the same tags as on the playbooks pdf.

What I don't get is that the way you describe it, hi-powered functions the same way as scoped but they are written out differently.
close/far implies to me that the weapon gains close or far depending on what it didn't have already. But then or +1harm at far would give you another option if the weapon already had far. Which would be an option within an option, which seems confusing.

So a on a handgun it's straightforward: it gains close/far
But on a rifle you would get a choice: it gains close/far or +1 harm at far

Apocalypse World / Hi-powered/3-round burst - Question (error?)
« on: March 31, 2017, 11:37:18 AM »
So I just bought this and I have a question about the custom weapons on the Battlebabe playbook.

Specifically: hi-powered (close/far, or +1harm at far)

I didn't grasp what this meant both mechanically and in fiction, so I looked to the main book for help:
3-round burst (close/far)
Hi-powered (+1harm)


That does make sense to me, a controlled burst might give close to a weapon that only has far and vice-versa.
So is that an error on the playbook?
