When a transport (vehicle) moves 6 inches it can fire it's main weapon and defensive weapons. Does this apply to passengers shooting?

Eg.

I have my Vets in a chim with 3 melta and rest lasguns. Can I move 6 inches and shoot the meltas or just the lasguns since they are "defensive"?

From the rulebook I understand that for my vets:

a) it counts as moving, so no heavy weapons can shoot.
b) no shooting at cruising speed.

Thanks for the help!

Passengers firing do not count as part of the vehicle's firing (with the exception of Tau Gun Drones, but that's a different thread). The two sets of firing are separate, and can indeed even have separate targets. As such, all of the weapons fired from fire points are in addition to any the vehicle itself can normally fire.

@Malecus Thanks for clearing that up, makes vets in chims much more dangerous.
