I've only played a handful of games, 4 in total, and I've had experienced players guiding me along. I picked up a Tau army last week, to go with my Flesh Tearers but I can't work out how many shots a weapon has.

Is it where you see, for example, Assault 2, or Heavy 4 - and those numbers are how many shots a weapon can make?

Thanks in advance!

Yes. An Assault 2 weapon has 2 shots and is of the assault type. This stuff is in the rulebook.

Assault 2
-2 shots

Assault 3
-3 shots

Heavy 3
-3 shots

Rapid Fire
-1 shot at full range, 2 at half range

Thanks I just wanted to double check
