A lot of thought has went into this, maybe to much, or maybe I’m making it to simple. Read the rules for what they are and not what you think they should be. First off, all this talk about a “string” is off. A String is defined in 6.1.1 and this is definitely not a string, so any rules discussed here involving strings are out (9.4.5.3). Whether they should be or not is irrelevant, this is not a string. That simplifies it a little, at least to me. Next, since 10.2.2.1 states “10.2.2.1 Procedural penalties for failure to comply with stage procedures do not apply to the number of shots fired. Penalties for firing insufficient or additional shots is addressed in other rules and must not be penalized under the provisions of 10.2.2.”, you cannot apply 10.2.2. We cannot use 9.4.5 rules since there were no extra shots(12) extra hits(12) and 9.4.5.3 applies to strings. So my call would be 1 procedural under 10.2.4. Stage called for 6 reload 6. He did 7 and 5. The order in which he did it is not important. It’s the same as going T1-T6 and coming back to T1 and after shooting it, remembering and performing the reload and finishing the stage.
