Hey guys.
Me and a friend were discussing the wording of the Space wolves codex, in particular, the wording for the swift claw gear.
It says...
"One swift claw biker may replace their bolt pistol with a:
- flamer
- meltagun
- plasma gun or plasma pistol
One swift claw biker may take one item from the melee weapons list"

So.... Does this mean that:
A: If you upgrade one guy to a melta gun/plasma/flamer, another biker in the same squad cant have a melee weapon from the melee list?
Or,
B: Can you have both the ranged weapon upgrade and another biker in the same squad taking a melee weapon from the melee list?

Any interpretation's or insight would be really helpful

Those are 2 separate options. You can:
"One swift claw biker may replace their bolt pistol with a:
- flamer
- meltagun
- plasma gun or plasma pistol"

(Option 1)

"One swift claw biker may take one item from the melee weapons list"

(Option 2)

1 does not exclude 2 and vice-versa. (Unless the option says so)

This. They're two separate choices.

You could also give both upgrades to the same biker, as it doesn't say 'one other...'

The settles that confusion, Thanks guys
