Yep - and most civilian guns will require 6 shifts.  Automatics are cheaper, but probably shouldn't be common in most cities.

Aren't automatic pistols pretty much the standard these days? How often do you see someone with a revolver that isn't a theater pistol?

I think he meant fully-automatic weapons, not semiautomatics.

Yeah, my bad. I didn't have the tech chart in front of me. It generally will require stress for all but the highest-Conviction casters.

Perhaps you could achieve the affect you want via a talisman of some kind? Thaumaturgy bound within a one use item?
