Balistic Skill 100+

By Great Wyrm Lord, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

There is a Forge Born Guardsman Acolyte that rolled a 19 for her Ballistic Skill and has gotten all the advancements for Ballistic Skill. She now gots a BS of 62 goes around shooting her custom made autogun (Best Craftmanship & gift from our Inquistor) a lot.

We recently has a combat on a flight of stairs she got closet enough to fire full-auto at Point blank at some mutant and rolled a 94. Is this still a miss since her modified BS would be 122 (BS 62, +20 full-auto, +30 point blank, +10 higher ground) since she would still had two degrees of success and her autogun never jams.? If she had rolled a 96, what would have happened?

The debate was she hit since her gun never jammed and she would only had missed on a 96 or higher.

Higher Ground only adds bonus for melee weapons, but your question is still valid.

The answer is Yes, I believe.

The higher ground bonus only applies to WS, not BS.

Jams are automatic misses, even if the weapon does not jam. The text for both the Reliable quality and Best Craftsmanship quality state that shots made with weapons that possess either quality that would have otherwised resulted in a jam are instead misses.

Yup. This came up in our session as well, with the sniper.
