hey guys so I have a question... so everyone knows that if you move, you can't shoot with a weapon that has the 'heavy' special rule. if they are in a transport w/ opentopped though can they shoot if the transport moves? thanks.

Page 80, under FIre Points, 2nd paragraph (in the print version, this is at the top of the second column of that page)

Answers this clearly.

You might want to reread the rules for Heavy weapons, because they can move and fire (but as a Snap Shot). Please see 'Heavy Weapons' (pg. 41, main rulebook).

How the movement of a vehicle affects the embarked squad's firing can be found under the second paragraph of 'Fire Points' (pg. 80, main rulebook).

Also check Fast vehicles to see if they change anything for passengers (they don't).
