Question about duplicate weapons on cars
Sorry if this has been answered already, but I've been having a tough time finding clarification.
In the rulebook it says multiple copies of weapons can be placed on the same firing arc on a vehicle. Does that mean the weapons are essentially fire linked and resolved as one attack, or does it mean the gunner and driver can each fire one of the weapons, or... what? Thanks very much for any help.

Re: Question about duplicate weapons on cars
Linked weapons are specific cards in the Linked Weapons set and other sets. While they differ in capability based on the weapons that are linked, the game effect for linking is that all Linked Weapons cards permit Ace tokens to be used for rerolls.
Having multiple weapons on a side means more weapons to fire and also more weapons to take damage if that side is hit.

Re: Question about duplicate weapons on cars
I believe (all?) Linked Weapons just give you 2 automatic re-rolls. No Ace tokens required.

Re: Question about duplicate weapons on cars
Gah, I mixed the Tracer Machine Guns and the Linked Weapons. Yes, it's 2 rerolls for the Linked.
I will have to drive a Killer Kart equivalent or other terrible design as penance.
