This seems to be a bit unclear to me and I checked both the GW and INAT FAQ's and couldn't find an answer. IF a vehicle with Power of the Machine Spirit rams a vehicle can it still shoot one weapon? The ability to still fire when stunned, shaken or having moved too far to shoot normally would suggest yes, however the inability to shoot after using smoke launchers makes a no a distinct possibility as well.

Just looking for a little clarification here.

Power of the Machine Spirit says the vehicle can fire one more weapon that would normally be permitted.

So you can shoot one weapon when you ram.

Interestingly enough, the FAQ says you cannot fire a weapon with PotMS when you pop smoke, so being able to when ramming could go either way.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

I am not sure why they went against RAW for the smoke question. (Possibly because of fluff reasons, there is smoke there so you can not see anything).

The ruled that you CAN use Power of the Machine Spirit to fire one gun if a vehicle has moved flat out.

Q: Can a Stormraven Gunship that has moved flat out
still use its Power of the Machine Spirit to fire one gun?

A: Yes
