Hi all
attack bikes got 2 weapon, twin-linked bolter and heavy bolter
and they got also 2 marine on board

so, in a standard shooting phase, they can shoot with both twin-linked bolter and heavy bolter, or they can shoot only with one? (namely the HB...)

if in close combat i choose to use krak grenade (maybe i'm assaulting a MC or a tank), i can use 2 of them (one for each one of the marine on board) or only 1 (one for model)?

What does the model what say?

I don’t have the rulebook in front of me, but I’m pretty sure bikes with more then one crew get to shoot multiple guns. I know they can, just can’t point to where.

I’m pretty sure that exception is just in the shooting phase. In CC they are treated like any other model with 2 attacks.

I second this opinion based completely on passed experience. There is definitely a rule that says they can. Have a look at your unit types section in the rulebook, under shooting.

Yup they can, page 45 in the BRB under shooting in the bike type section

oh yeah thanks
so long, a 8 bike + attack bike can shoot 10 times: 9x tl bolter and 1x hb. cool

As per the rulebook, a bike can shoot as many weapons as it has riders.

However there is no mention of this with regards to cc, so RAW you would only get 1 krak grenade attack in cc.

yes you can fire your twin linked bolters & the melter / heavy bolter but must be at the same target
