I was reading through the 6th editions rules and saw that when your units disembark, they can shoot, count as having moved in the movement phase, or run in the shooting phase. Now when they disembark from a land raider, they can charge in the assault phase. So can they disembark, shoot in shooting phase, then charge in assault phase all on same turn?

Yes, unless they don't have the relentless rule and shoot a weapon that would prevent them from charging that turn.

yes, but only if their weapons have the Assault type.

All being an assault vehicle does is allow you to assault after disembarking, all other restrictions still apply.

Okay, so my berzerkers would fire their pistols before charging if they were that close. Was just wondering, thanks guys

Another question I just had...

So I move 6" with Land Raider in movement phase, choose all weapons (lascannon and heavy bolter) in shooting phase and then disembark, and then the guys who disembarked can shoot and charge...right?

Not quite, disembarking is done in the movement phase, so:
Move up to 6" with LR, disembark troops, shoot with LR (applying limits on page 71 "Moving and shooting with Vehicles") and troops, charge.

Okay, so all is possible, i just had the wrong order, thank you

Now about moving and shooting with Vehicles, since the land raider is a heavy vehicle, it says that heavy vehicles are always treated as having remained stationary...does that mean even if they move their 6", they still count as stationary?

All of those questions are answered in the rule book.
Also this is tactics, not YMDC.

LR is not a heavy type. It most likely takes a Heavy Slot in the FoC. But its sub types are [Tank, Transport]

If it gets moved or not, I have a question....

In an LRC can you disembark, then shoot, then assault and still benefit from the frag launchers up front?

Yes, the Frag Launchers benifit any unit that disembarks and assaults from the LRC in the same turn .
