Trying to understand some rules while not being able to play.
1) If a unit moves in the Moving Phase, it can only fire Snap Shots correct?
2) If a unit has a Rapid fire weapon, if it doesn't move in Moving Phase, it can fire on shot the max range or two shots at half range?

1) only if it's a non-relentless/slow and purposeful unit firing a heavy weapon
2) this is correct, though it now doesn't change if the unit moves.

Just make sure I understand correctly;
1) So say a squad of Space Marines, armed with all boltguns, move 6 inches, they still fire normal shots, but if armed with "Heavy" weapons, they fire Snap shots.
2) Units with Rapid Fire can still fire one or two shots, depending on range, even if they moved.

Correct.

1) The unit moves. All bolters fire at normal BS, Heavy weapons fire as snapshots (BS1), if you choose to fire them at all.

2) Moving does not change Rapid Fire (except for using it to get into half range to be capable of the double shot of course). Moving or not, your weapons are still Rapid Fire weapons.

Awesome. Thank you for clearing that up. I played "A" game like 4 years ago and wasn't sure how the rules changed. Thanks again.

Yes and yes.

Note also that only one model in the unit being fired upon needs to be in double-tap range as well..
