As we all know, since 7th edition landed barrage weapons lost their pinning rule. This left the quad mortar in a curious prediciment as it has the Shellshock rule for pinning tests, but Rules as written lacked pinning now.

I recently emailed Forgeworld regarding this and have recived a reply. Quad mortars have pinning! The just forgot to include it in the weapon's rules.

As much as I'd want them to have pinning, unless a FAQ comes out it'll be flimsy at best.

the FW quad Mortar has pinning, unless i'm looking at the wrong one

From memory, IA13 quad mortars have pinning and Shell Shock. The quad mortars from earlier books just have Shell Shock.

IA: Siege of Vraks lacks Pinning on the weapons. Sadly I would find it difficult to convince an opponent that they do have pinning off of the back of an email that someone else received, without an official FAQ.

Eh, when they continue to publish it with a rule regarding pinning tests, it isn't a huge leap of logic to suggest that the weapon is supposed to cause pinning tests. But, I fully understand that falls on the RAI side of things.

the marine rapier quad mortar has pinning, so that should help to sway people to it having pinning.

IA 13 has pinning in the weapons profile summary page for heavy quad launcher.
