Subject: Full shooting attack v.s. shooting attack

I was looking at the Deathstorm drop pod.
It mentions that you should make a "full shooting attack"
Does that mean you shoot the entire heavy 2 ? or is it the same as making a "shooting attack" and just resolve a single attack ?
|
As an aside, as "infinite" rolls is actually impossible even if the FAQ "allows" it, then it will always be a non-zero chance to pass them all. Eventually the two players will die. If they pass the game on to their decendents, they too will eventually die. And, at the end of it all, the universe will experience heat death and it, too, will die. In the instance of "infinite" hits, we're talking more of functional infinity, rather than literal.
RAW you can't pass the game onto descendants, permissive ruleset. Unless we get an FAQ from GW.

"When fired, this weapon makes one full Shooting attack against each enemy unit within range"
So if it is Heavy 2, you make 2 shots.
If it is Heavy 6, you make 6 shots.

So it has this rule on the weapon
When fired, this weapon makes one full Shooting attack against each enemy unit within range, except CHARACTERS. A unit consisting entirely of CHARACTERS may only be attacked if it is the closest enemy unit to the Deathstorm Drop Pod when the attack is declared
so does this mean it shoots 2 shots at every unit within range, as a result of the ability, or ?

"Full shooting attack" isn't a self-contained term that's defined in the rules AFAIK. Why GW can't use consistent wording is beyond me (or is this a FW unit?) The only interpretation I can reasonably see working is that it means a shooting attack, which is firing the gun at each target. So if it's Heavy 2 that's two shots at each enemy unit in range. I'm not sure what other interpretation could be reasonably applied.

It does happen to be a FW unit. I realize the language on FW units are sometimes confusing but just wondering how it should work XD.

Yes, it shoots two shots at every enemy unit within range. Ignore the word full, its FW  Every model that shoots has to shoot every shot the weapon is capable of.
