The rule doesn't specify the embarked unit shooting. It just specifies involving" if they are being shot at are they involved? i would think so. So the rule applies.

Wounds taken from a shooting attack might cause a leadership/morale test. Therefore you can't shoot them.

No, it wouldn't. Embarked units are Fearless so no morale test required.

Can you check range on a model not on the table?

If I need to measure a range involving the embarked unit, the range is measured too or from the vehicle's hull.
The parenthetical means that if the embarked unit is shooting you do not measure to the vehicle's hull - the Firing Point rules specify you measure to the Firing Point.

Again, all ranges except for the embarked units shooting are measured to the vehicles hull.

So you say we can't check range by linking the rule that says we CAN measure the range?
I don't get it..

the rule says "except for shooting".....

But a blast weapon with unlimited range that ignores LOS (i'm sure i can find one if i need to) doesn't check range of LOS.

No, that's not what it says.

The Except for shooting part is there b.c the unit inside the vehicle needs to use the Fire Point and not the Hull.
