I havn't been able to find the answer to this in the rule book so can someone help.
Do embarked units shooting from a transport that jinked have to fire snaps shots or do they use their regular BS?
Would be grateful if you could post any relevant page refs.
TIA

I'm 98% positive they shoot snap fire. At least that's how I've always seen it played , and how I play it with my Necrons.

Regular ballistic. You can tell because there's no rule saying they have to snap shot.
Impossible to cite a rule/page number that doesn't exist.

That's exactly right, and is the reason it throws off a lot of people. If you look at the way those rules are worded, embarked models shooting out of fire points have permission to shoot at full BS unless specific conditions happen (e.g., moving at cruising speed, which causes them to snap fire). Conspicuously absent is any mention of jink, which means that it doesn't affect their BS at all.

That does feel counter-intuitive, but if them’s the rules, I guess we can shoot straight.
