Ranged weapons in close range

I was curious do ranged weapons when fighting close up ..does it only give you persay one attack per combat round unless you have rapid shot which gives you two shots per one weapons round?

I was curious that if it didn't that it would be nice if Rapid shot let you use 2nd 3rd etc.. that many times per combat round in a close up fight using ranged weapons. Perhaps even give an extra bonus to attacking to rangers since it is there specialty

Hehe this is just a random idea that came so I thought to put it up here..lest it disappear somewhere in my head!

When you have yourself set to combatmode +ranged (in order to set this mode, you HAVE to have the point-blank shot feat trained). You will get all your attacks per round as missile attacks, so long as you have ammo to last (and it goes fast in this mode)

In other words, if you have second and third attack trained, you will get a total of three missile attacks a round. If you train rapid shot, you gain an extra missile attack, akin to training dual-wield and wielding a second weapon.

If you use the SHOOT command you will only get off as many shots as your wait state after the shot allows. That I know of, this does not change as you gain attacks to give you more shots.

Ah. I thought even when fighting at point blank you noly got one shot per combat round. Good to know! >.> Does rapid shot give the extra attack when fighting close up atop your multiple hit skills?
