If a walker has 3 or 4 weapons i know it can fire all of them if it moves.

am i reading the rules correctly and it canonly fire one wepon at normal BS and the rest have to be fired at snap shots as per the Vehicle movement rules on p71

just wanna check i not missed a rule somewhere.

pottsey: partially correct. Walkers (by RAW) follow rules for Vehicle shooting, but you're forgetting that Walker never moves Combat Speed or Cruising Speed, so restrictions given by those speed types don't matter.

Note that the language used for Stationary Vehicles (page 71) and Walkers (page 84) use more or less identical language:
"A vehicle that remained Stationary can fire all of its weapons" and
"A Walker that moved can still fire all of its weapons"

It's also on the chart in the back of the book. And yes, walkers move at "combat speed" per vehicles, even though they move as infantry. P. 426

Unfortunately, game summary portion of the rulebook contradicts main rules in few cases. Use the real rules instead.

And technically the chart doesn't say that when Walker moves, it moves at Combat speed. Instead it states that if Walker moved Combat speed (which it doesn't), it could shoot all of its weapons at full ballistic skill.
On the same page, there's also the error in "Expliodes" result in which it is stated that models disembark but are limited to 3" move, which is obviously copy-paste error when you read the actual rules.
