Hopefully this will be quick: do you take one save from both wounds or do you take two saves, one from each wound?

Nevermind, read it too fast. It's a single shooting attack, that causes two wounds if you don't save against it.

One save. It causes 2 unsaved wounds, it doesnt wound you twice

While this has been resolved, I figure I might as well ask this here rather than starting a new thread. When this shot targets vehicles, does the vehicle suffer 4D6 armor penetration in addition to the strength 3 of the sniper and the rending special rule? Or is the 4D6 the only thing calculated into the penetration roll?

Str + 4D6 pen.

Sniper rifles have rending as well, so you add that in as well for any 6's

There's always been some debate about whether you include the standard sniper's S3. Rending clearly functions (from the FAQ), but it's worth clarifying with your opponent before the game, just in case you come across people who play it as just a flat 4D6+Rending roll.

It's seldom an issue though. Of all the rules debates I could try to "win," this one doesn't rank very high.

Thanks for the answer! Y'all can hijack my thread now.

I find it kinda funny how some of the people at my club make a big fuss over the whole multiple 6's = multiple rendings when is actually doesn't matter at all.
If you had a an armor pen roll of 6,6,1,1, (even with out the S3 as I'm not sure about that), you get 14. Add in just one d3 for rending and you are penning everything in the game, absolutely no need for more then one die but we get it anyways.
Just makes me wish they would FAQ the questions that actually mean something in the game.
