double pistol misfire

[andersen]

I am wondering if there is an official pfs ruling on this scenario:
I fire both barrels of my double pistol, one misfires and the other hits-- do I still get to roll damage for the hit or does the misfire automatically negate both attacks?

This would be a situation where rolling one at a time would make it an easily determined thing.

If you rolled both at once, I wager it's up to the GM's mercies.

Both shots are simultaneous, which means you get the 1 misfire + 1 hit (and the misfire chance is not raised for this 2nd shot), however remember if you get 2 misfires your weapon explodes (and this would apply instantly to a double barrelled weapon if both shots misfired)

Because "Both Barrels" are fired in the same action, even if you roll two 1's the gun will not explode, the misfire penalty does not have the opportunity to stack with the other shot. It gains the broken condition (misfire +2) for the next attack. If the next shot falls in the misfire value and it still has the broken condition then the gun would explode.

One shot is an auto miss. (misfire)

The second one hits.

I always assumed that two misfires would explode the gun and that the penalty stacks as well. but I suppose that doesnt make sense as it is two separate barrels, so why would one being broken cause the other, which isnt broken, to go straight to exploding.

There is nothing in the rules (that I know of) that treats the barrels separately for the purposes of the "broken" condition. The weapon is either broken, or it's not.

Now if they both literally fire at the same time it wouldn't matter, but if he were firing them Rapid Shot...
