Yes, the trigger is the to-hit. The effect is if "that" hit wounds you allocate the wound.

Which has its own rules to it from other Wounds, so would be in a separate Wound Pool (if successful at Wounding).

While not presented in the proper order, I do believe that the end result would have been the same over all.

Outside of effects on a model hit(which is incredibly rare); it is the same general effect. But any special rule that details models hit(again, most "hit" special rules are "units hit") won't get allocated until after the precision shot wounds(so no wound would be no models hit; oddly enough).

Indeed. Which is why it is important if there are any To Wound effects associated with the Precision Hit, that the Precision Hits be separated out for potential Wound Pool separations. Technically speaking, a Precision Hit is already in a separate Wound Pool (even without a Rending possibility), all it needs is to be successful at Wounding to be finish the separation.

I had mentioned that the precision shots(effect, not rule) hits should be separated for the to-wound process in an earlier post(for one thing, once you know you have hits that bear the effect, you need a way to clearly delineate which wounds are allocated in which manner). No matter what sort of additional special rules may or may not be involved.

Taking an example from the topic: an infantry blob that recieves "Take Aim" and fires all of its lasguns is also likely to fail to wound with many of them, knowing which to-wound rolls were from precision shots(again, effect not rule) is very important.

Right, we are all reinforcing each other at this point.
