Ok did a quick search and couldn't find the answer to this.

If you score a weapon destroyed against a Manticore do you get to chose "the storm eagle rockets" or just 1 rocket (effectively reducing the number of shots it can take per game by 1).

Weapon loadout lists "Storm eagle rockets" in the army list and the unit's special rules list it has having "4 storm eagle rockets"

Nothing in the FAQ about it.

It's one weapon with 4 shots.

One weapon is listed that can fire 4 times

Third time is a charm?

One weapon, 4 shots.

I thought single shot weapons were counted individually for weapon destroyed results?
Its wargear is listed as "Storm Eagle Rockets", which are one-shot weapons and are counted individually for weapon destroyed results.
So if your Manticore has 3 rockets left and it gets a weapon destroyed result, you lose a rocket and it only has two left.

@ Joey.

No, the Manticore is armed with 1 (one) weapon called Storm Eagle Rockets (actually a Manticore Rocket Launcher that fires Storm Eagle Rockets).

A Manticore (as in the vehicle itself) has the Limited Ammunition rule that limits the Manticore Rocket Launcher to fire just four times.

The easiest way to figure out that it's not done that way is look at the Valkyrie's weapons. 1 Multilaser and 2 Hellstrike Missiles. Even though the hellstrikes are one shot weapons, it lists that you have 2 of them on the valkyrie meaning those have to be destroyed individually. As for the manticore it lists Storm Eagle rockets as a piece of wargear. The limited ammunition is an actual special rule for the vehicle, not for the weapons themselves.

I am assuming the heavy bolter would be destroyed first.
I'd go with the 1 rocket destroyed.
but...that would mean it needs 6 weapons des rolls to kill it.

or a whole bunch of immobilised. Or just a 5+.

Bad assumption. The attacker chooses which weapon is destroyed. No opponent in their right mind is going to choose the HB unless all 4 rockets already fired.

...OHHHHH... thanks for clearing that up, my groups played like that for a while. But still if it keeps geting wep destroyed and stunned (or shaken) it would take a few hits... but the chances of that happening are low...like rolling all 1s for your stormshield termies.

Umm, it is still all 4 rockets if it gets Weapon Destroyed.

It is one weapon system that fires 4 times.

One weapon destroyed result destroys the single weapon system
