Necromunda New Edition

That is exactly the way it works. They can't be given heavy or paired weapons, but no rules against them actually using them. The mount has the weapon therefore they get to use it that way.

 

As for the quad, the rules cover the additional crew member by making the weapon, harpoon or heavy bolter, Independent.

 

So there isn't actually another crew member in the rules. He's just an independent weapon system.

I agree wholeheartedly.
It just seems a little 'messy' to me and that the Mounts rule feels like it should have an additional sentence something along the lines of 'All Mounts with inbuilt weapons follow the rules for vehicles when shooting'

 

Fortunately, it will take me that long to re-arm my gangs that it will be quite a while before I get around to using Mounts, so hopefully they'll clear it up by then

Oh it's needlessly messy. A simple line could have covered all of it.
