A Mordian infantry squad consisting of a Sergeant and 9 men with Lasrifles shoots at a target below 12 " away, gets ordered FRFSRF and the "Volley Fire" Stratagem. The lasguns fire 36 shots, out of which 10 are a six (say it was a lucky throw). The Stratagem says "for every hit roll of 6+ you can shoot again with the same weapon at the same target", so what happens next?

A) The ten sixes generate 10 Rapid Fire 1 below 12 " FRFSRF shots = 40 additional hit rolls

B) The ten sixes generate 10 additional hit rolls

C) Something else entirely

As it stands they fire the full salvo of shots. I think it's meant to be like the others where it's just one shot per 6, but as is IMO it's the full 40 additional shots.

It's A. The stratagem explicitly says "shoot again" not "extra attack" or "attack again". You get the full 4 bonus shots for each attack that rolls a 6.

Compare the wording to that of Death to the False Emperor as an example.

So if I have a Grenade Launcher in the squad, and get D6 hits, rolling a 6+ to hit on any of them, then gives me another shot, or another D6 hits for every 6+ to hit I roll?

Would this then also work with Grenadiers and Frag grenades I wonder...

Correct. If you throw a Frag Grenade, roll 5 shots, get 5 sixes, you get to make another 5D6 shots with the Grenade.

Combine squads, everyone use grenade stratagem, volley fire and roll ton of dice and end up doing 2 wounds to a jetbike shield captain after 10 minutes of rolling.

Basically right, but to clarify you are getting d6 extra SHOTS not d6 extra HITS.
