Abuela's Slug vs Bulletproof

[Weremarshall]

This issue has come up a few times recently and I can't seem to find an answer to it in this forum, so I decided to start a thread.

 

I've been playing Snowstorm a lot recently and he has Bulletproof +3. My friend play Abuela Ortega who has the slug trigger which generates a second damage flip. Is the damage from the trigger considered to be part of a 'Sh' action and thus reduced by bulletproof, or do I reduce the initial damage flip and the second one is not subject to reduction (as the first is from a 'sh' action but the second one is a trigger)?

 

We've been playing it the second way, but it seems odd that the triggered damage flip is not part of a 'Sh' action.

pg21

If a trigger is part of a specific action it is listed below the actions description. These are called action triggers and are part of the action itself.

 

so yes it is still a shoot action so yes it is reduced by bulletproof

Triggers of an action are considered of the same Sh action.

you reduce the first hit with bullet proof 

then the 2nd flip with bullet proof
