If a model is equipped with more than one shooting weapon, can he shoot both if the enemy unit is in range?

From my reading of the rules, there is no longer a distinction between 1-handed and 2-handed weapons as was in previous editions of the rules. I was looking at my Ork Codex this morning before work, and realized I could have my mek equiped with both a Shoota and a Burna. A quick look at the AoBR rule book, and I didn't see anything indicating that he couldnt' shoot both. However, I didn't have time to review the rules in detail. There's the section under LoS where it talks about how a model may choose not to shoot, but that was the closest I found.

Examples of models with multiple shooting weapons:
Big Mek with Burna and Shoota
Chaos Space Marine with Bolt Pistol and Bolter

I'm pretty sure you can't fire both, but want to find if that is stated.

Thanks,
Heffling

Unless it has a special rule saying otherwise, a model may only fire 1 shooting weapon per turn, regardless of how many it has. Page 15, BRB.

Examples of units that can fire more than one weapon include Monstrous Creatures and Vehicles.

A CSM with Bolter and Bolt Pistol can fire one or the other, not both, while a Carnifex can fire off two guns if it so wishes.

Ok then heres a question reguarding the Fex then GWAR.
I dont have the codex infront of me, but I know the Carnifex can have, basically a plasma shot that it vomits out, and is treated as a shooting attack. Could a fex with that attack, then shoot the plasma snot ball, AND his stranglethorn for example?

Yes, as that is 2 weapons (Bioplasma plus stranglethorn) which is allowed for a Monstrous Creature.

Yes, evidence of a special rule is the Tau Multi-tracker(Battle suit variety)

Yes. It's a shooting attack that doesn't use up any "arms". It still uses one of his shooting attacks.

Coolness, I kindda figured, but wasnt totally sure thanks all
