Whats the firing arc on the Chimera for its lasguns? this came up during a game.

Page 64 of the rulebook tells us to trace LOS from the actual weapon mounting.

So your Chimera Lasguns can fire at whatever you can point them towards.

Unless of course you want to arbitrarily classify them as 'fixed' weapons, in which case they'd only have a 180 degree arc of fire facing from the side of the vehicle.

Hey Hod.

Insaniak is correct, so basically when it comes to a Chimera, it's about 180 degrees on either side.

I know that the diagrams in the book can be a little strange,IMO, eg a LR can NOT shoot at targets 2" in front of it (or behind)with it's Las-Cannons, but we (at my club anyways) let that sort of stuff go by.

House rules anyone?

Imagine the line is the front of the Chim. The 0's are a ball-mounted Las-gun(GAK!).
So the front and rear guns have about 225 degrees, the middle ones 180.

well the lasguns are fixed and it looked like they are boresighted instead of any arc. Thanks for the help although I damn never use those suckers. I had someone once say I couldnt shoot a genestealer that was 1 inch from the land raider just right infront of the assault ramp and he pulled the rule book on me for it. I really hate how they did the diagrams.

Id rather for the vehicle to have the weapon and next to it an arc that it uses for simplicity.
