How many supa rockits can a Stompa fire each turn? Not sure if it is one or more.

All. Theres no limit to how many gunz that thing can fire

I'm not overly familiar with them, but I assume the only restriction is that you'd have to declare how many of them you're firing at a squad before you resolve the shooting. You can't say you're firing one plasma gun at a squad, then if you don't get a hit change your mind and fire a second one. All weapons of a single type fire simultaneously.

"All weapons of a single type fire simultaneously."

I don't believe this is the case with weapons that are also one time use.

Does the BRB say something about this that I'm missing?

If a model can shoot with more than one weapon in the same phase and it is equipped with two or more identically named weapons, it shoots with all the same named weapons when that weapon is selected.

and

If a model chooses not to shoot with the currently selected weapon now, it cannot fire that weapon later during the same phase (but it can shoot a differently named weapon it is equipped with).

So if all the rockets share the same name, "supa rockit", they all fire simultaneously. If they have different names or fire types they fire separately, but if they share the same name they must be declared before rolling to hit.

The only thing the BRB says in the "one use only" section is:

A weapon or ability with this special rule can only be used once during the course of a battle.

Is there something I'm missing?

kingbobbito is correct, if a unit has multiple weapons you select a weapon and all weapons within that unit that are the same fire simultaneously. Then you select a different weapon, all weapons that are the same fire together etc....

Don't confuse him.. he doesn't have to fire ALL of his 5 rokkits at one squad.. he does however have to declare how many he is firing at the squad. He can then choose to fire more, if any remain, at a different squad. He just can't say.. Imma fire one. Oops didn't kill enough, Imma fire a second.

Not true as Super heavy's can fire weapons with the same name but different weapon at different targets.

take the Imp knight with two Hvy Stubbers, same weapon name, but as there are two they can be fired at different targets.

This.

This is 100 percent correct.

A normal vehicle without additional special rules must declare all the same weapons fired at once, but that is after the declaration of target and they can only fire at 1 target.

With super heavies(and potms) you go through the whole shooting phase process for each target.

Whoops, yeah I didn't iterate in the super heavies multi-targeting capabilities. Was just thinking on the when he's choosing and firing weapons and assumed he was picking targets when selecting weapons.. So I am getting it wrong that you have to go through the whole shooting process once but get to choose different targets as you went down the weapons list? Oh wait nvm I get it. Sigh sometimes I'm thick with the subtle but significant details

No worries; they wouldn't be subtle rule interactions if they were obvious.

Superheavies shooting is actually incredibly complex when you have as many weapons as the stompa or a baneblade.

Honestly I am not 100 percent certain if you can start the shooting process at 1 target, then move to a second target, then go back to the first target.

The rulebook states the superheavy vehicle (or superheavy walker) can "fire each of its weapons at different targets if desired." that doesn't imply or state any restriction to targeting with the same or a different weapon.

That would over-ride the "shoots with all the same named weapons when that weapon is selected" restriction.
