I read the second bit as "buy one Flechette Launcher, etc for the whole squadron". I assumed anyone attacking the squadron would only be defended by one Flechette Launcher.
You're right. It still doesn't explain how flechette launchers should work.

uh, so you pay the points for one DP, FD, etc and it applies to the whole squadron?
I can live with that I guess.

A: The target will only receive cover saves that are not
based on line of sight. This would include when at least
half the unit is in area terrain; or a vehicle with wargear or
a special rule that means they are obscurred.
This is pretty darn concise 
Now, why couldn't they have been this clear (or benevolent) with the tyranid codex in regards to the Hive Guard entry. There it mentions that models in cover or adjacent to cover get thier cover save.
It's either
A) A little bit of cheese to help out the Tau until the new codex. You can put a lot of SMS and Seekers in a Tau army and now they ignore most cover.
B) Standard GW inconsistency of logic.
These things are not mutually exclusive. I choose C) All of the above.
Also, does anyone see anything here that looks like a setup for a new codex soon?

I don't see anything that looks like a setup...
Some of these things will be nice... but most won't affect me XP
The new tidbid about piranhas is quite nice, but it doesn't affect me because I never use them.

Nope, it means you buy one each for the entire squadron, just as you would for, say, camo cloaks for Space Marine scouts.
