Basic question that came up

[dex]

hi again
I'm back with another question that came up last night when playing.
Auto fire; if the player chooses a burst anyone within a short distance of the target is attacked.
The question is the short distance centered on the target ,or does it start at the target? in other words is the short range the radius of a short from the target or the diameter of a short from the target ,going to the sides and back in an arc?
I know you get more minus modifiers the more you try and shoot so there is naturally a limit .

Anyone within a short - as in radius, any direction. The next target HAS to be the one nearest to initial target, this avoids dodgy play in avoiding chances of hitting friendly figs etc.
