Fire Point?

[DeathByFear]

Can any weapon in the vehicle be shot through the fire point or does it have to be whats mounted on the vehicle?

[Mordekiem]

Any. The vehicle weapons have their own firing rules.

[stinkenheim]

a fire point allows one of the embrked unit to hoot through a hatch on the vehicle. provided the vehicle was stationary any weapon can be fired from it. if the vehicle moved then the squad inside also counts as moving so no firing heavy weapons.

...and this doesn't count as the vehicle's weapon; your Rhino can move 6", fire its Storm Bolter, then the guys inside pop up and fire a bolter from one hatch and a flamer from another.

It's also worth mentioning that the unit inside of the transport and the transport counts as different units for purposes of shooting...so the transport can fire at a different target than the unit inside.

 

Example: a Rhino can fire at an Ork Boy squad while the marine with melta-gun and marine with missile-launcher fire at a nearby Trukk from the fire point.

At the risk of seeming churlish or unhelpful – before we end up giving all the rules away relating to fire points and vehicle firing generally, – maybe the OP could re-read p66 of the BRB. It makes it quite clear that it's the embarked units' weapons (or psychic power) that fire through fire points and not the vehicles' own weaponry that is being discussed.

 

But any further issues arising – feel free to ask :D.
