Ok guys just a quickie -
Does a Splinter cannon count as a defensive weapon??
It being a poisen weapon and not having a strength value means its a bit of a grey area when that comes into play on a vehicle
Just wondered where other players stood on the subject or if there is a piece on it that I've missed
IMO I would count it as one as it has the assault option and doesn't have a diff S or AP from its pistol or rifle counterparts

Thoughts?

BRB, page 58, under Defensive weapons.

Any vehicle weapons of Strength 4 or less (or with
no Strength value) are classified as 'defensive weapons'.

That would be a yes.

ahhh cool thanks for clearing that i must have overlooked that every time

much appreciated bud

Even explicitly stated in the DE codex.

edit: removed, no longer needed.

indeed that is the point of Venoms, the only vehicle that actually uses this rule.
