can running shot be used to get adjacent to a character to use the sharpshooter ability?

Yes

Yes and it's awesome! Running at someone and shooting at them with an arrow... IN THE FACE!!

That's pretty much how I play my Kenny Powers character when I get to play Shadowrun with my friends.

Can you running shot into someone and then shoot someone not adjacent to you if can still draw line of fire to the target?

No, all Sharpshooter does is allow characters to make a ranged attack against adjacent opposing characters, they still can't shoot out of adjacency.

This is why mind controlling a character with 3 arrows, sharpshooter and energy explosion is my personal dream!

Yes Bullseye can running shot, picking up a lemonade stand base a guy and shoot him from close. Then next turn push to smack him with the stand for 5 damage (1 of which is penetrating) snd land on a 20 defense

So.. he doesn't have to use the stand in the initial attack? I though if you picked up an object, it is required to use in the attack?

The first attack he was talking about is a RANGED attack.

i got one. pick up the kryptonite that gives mind control with bullseye, then running shot mind control. any thoughts?

Can't be done, because both Mind Control and Running Shot are power actions. Jean Grey from Mutations and Monsters is the exception to this because her special power specifically allows it.

well that burst the ol'bubble. back to the drawing board.
