is very tough to do bolt action rifles justice. They put out (relative
to
a semi-auto or burst capable weapon) fewer rounds. But their accuracy is
good with an aimed shot.

Perhaps: BA rifle shooters can aim and add 50% or 100% to their range
band
size. Just requires them to spend an aim action ahead of time.

SMGs and ARs could easily score multiple hits on a target (especially at
closer ranges). A BA is likely to be a single hit. That's another
distinction.

The FP model makes BA rifles hard to do justice to, except as snipers.
If
you only want to resolve one attack roll, you end up handling burst or
fast-semi-auto fire much like single shot, more accurate fire. Thus you
have
some challenges differentiating weapons.

I don't have a good answer for you. ARs present odd challenges - they
can
fire reasonably accurately to long ranges fired semi-auto with a bit of
aim
and they can put out bursts or even a flurry of bursts closer in if the
need
arises. In a one-roll FP model, you'ld probably have to give them
reasonable
chances of scoring a hit at all ranges - maybe even an even rating for
FP.
The *type* of fire used in each situation might vary but the net effect
might be 'good odds of hitting' at most ranges.

Now, if you had the mechanism, the AR might have a better chance of
multiple
wounds close in vs. a single wound further out.
