Ok quick question, can a model with two pistols fire both out of one fire point? For example a unit warrior acolytes with las and plasma pistols firing out of an inquisitorial chimera.

Fire points are numbered by how many passengers can use them, not how many weapons they can fire.

If you somehow managed to get a unit of Centurions in a transport with 3 fire points, 3 models could each shoot 2 weapons from the vehicle.

Depends on RAW of transports and fire points. I don't have the rulebook with me atm but I think fire points mention models not weapons. So for a chimera, 5 models shoot.

Thanks guys, I only ask because I don't have my BRB with me, also whats the rule about fire points and smoke launchers, can they fire or not? I'm leaning towards not but better ask.

If the transport used smoke launchers, the passengers can't fire out of fire points.
p.78 of the book.

kk, thanks again

It has been a great advantage to Tau players since the release of Stronghold Assault, as suits can fire twice as many weapons from a building then their non-suit counterparts.
