Hi, looking at the rules for a Kustom Stompa and I see "Right Arm Weapon, Deth Kannon with Co-Axial Gigashoota"

My rulebook doesn't say what a co-axial weapon is. I also can't find it in Imperial Armour 8, though it is admittedly a huge book.

Can someone explain what a Co-Axial weapon is, rules wise? Namely, can I fire it and its attached weapon (which is Ordnance, does that affect it?), and is it still subject to the split fire rule of a superheavy?

Cheers

It's part of the previous edition of Apocalypse, where hitting a target with a co-axial weapon caused the primary weapon to be twin-linked.

What do you reckon that would translate to in the current one? Simply another gun? Does it have to shoot the same target as the gun its attached to?

Its part of the current rules, as well.

IA Vol 1 2nd edition still has the coaxial rule (used on vanquishers) - as long as you score A hit with the coax weapon, you then roll to hit with the weapon it is attached to (so in sequence, like a network marker light) and reroll all failed to hit, which includes giving you the ability to reroll scatter if firing a blast weapon
