Do Auto-hit weapons (Burnas/Skorchas/Traktor Kannons/Etc.) still roll dice to hit in order to trigger Dakka!Dakka!Dakka! and generate an additional shot on a roll of a natural ‘6’?

Can the ‘Re-roll 1’s to hit in shooting’ Bad Moonz Kulture trait then also be used to potentially generate more Dakka!Dakka!Dakka! shots for these Auto-hit weapons?

Would the Auto-hit and Dakka!Dakka!Dakka! interaction also happen in Overwatch?

Edit: Can you use 'Showin' Off' in Overwatch?

All these questions occurred to me as I pondered taking Bad Moonz Burna Boyz.

No, you don't still roll dice in order to trigger special abilities. This is asked in the main rulebook FAQ on page 7, 5th down in the left column.

EDIT: Autohit still happens in overwatch - the only change it to the hit roll. It does not say that autohit weapons don't hit or have to roll.

My copy of the Ork Codex isn't showing up until later today so I don't have DDD at hand to check. If it says it's limited to the shooting phase, then no you don't get it as it isn't the shooting phase. If it doesn't limit DDD to the shooting phase, then it would apply during overwatch.

1) No, you cannot.

BRB FAQ wrote:Q: Some abilities and Stratagems confer extra bonuses each time a hit roll of, for example, 6+ is rolled. If a weapon has an ability that says ‘this weapon automatically hits its target’, do I still roll the hit rolls for those attacks in the hope of gaining such a bonus?
A: No, no hit rolls are made when resolving attacks with such weapons (and so they will never benefit from such a bonus).

2) Yes, you can use it for Overwatch but you're still limited to the charging unit as a target.

The answer to the first question can be found in the 'Dakka! Dakka! Dakka!' rule itself:

Reading is fundamental, I guess.

Posted the questions without a Codex and BRB to peruse and ponder.

Thanks!
