So the discussion came up. The way I read the rules you can never shoot more then you're RoF is high, so a Jack with ROF 2 weapon can shoot one time, pay a focus and shoot a second time. A jack with ROF of 1 can shoot 1 time no matter how much focus he has.

Some in my group say if you have ROF 1 you shoot one time for free but after that you can shoot as many times as you can pay for extra attacks with focus.

What is right?
Doesnt the rules say you can never shoot more than youre ROF?

You're right. ROF is the maximum amount of shots you can fire.

One good way of handling it is asking them to provide the relevant text in the rulebook.

"So, do please come along when we're promoting something new and need photos for the facebook page or to send to our regional manager, do please engage in our gaming when we're pushing something specific hard and need to get the little kiddies drifting past to want to come in an see what all the fuss is about. But otherwise, stay the feth out, you smelly, antisocial bastards, because we're scared you are going to say something that goes against our mantra of absolute devotion to the corporate motherland and we actually perceive any of you who've been gaming more than a year to be a hostile entity as you've been exposed to the internet and 'dangerous ideas'.

A weapon always gets 1 free shot.

It can then buy additional shots up to its RoF on the card.


A Redeemer has a RoF 3 gun. It gets 1 free shot and then it can buy up to 2 additional shots.

Note that shots made outside of a model's activation don't count towards its RoF. So if a Vassel used Ancillery Attack on the above Redeemer it could shoot up to 4 times.
