Subject: [DS2] Multi-barrel cheese question

Is it permissable to describe a single weapon on a
vehicle as "quick-firing" or "multi-barrel" and put
multiple weapons in the design, even though only a single barrel or shroud
features on the model?

If it is, what conditions, restrictions or advantages should apply?

This may prove to be more a matter of opinion than a question of fact since
the rules encourage a broad interpretation of figures, but that just means
that we all get to shout about it.

On a vaguely-related note, is it permissable to
justify a GMS that does not appear on the figure by
describing it as "through-barrel" in the design?

And if an artillery peice is required to perform direct fire... you get my
drift.

The first two questions stem from a lack of features on models to fill
available hull capacity. I'm sure this has appeared on the list before; I must
be asking Firedrake the wrong questions.

Here's my take on it:

None that I can think of onther than those already in place for multiple mount
systems.

Same concept seems to apply. If you've paid the points and capacity for both a
GMS and a direct fire weapon, why not? It only strikes me as cheesy if you
don't point it out to your opponent.
