Some weapons are designed to fire a fusillade of shots, sacrificing accuracy for sheer volume.

A weapon with this special rule enables its wielder to fire several shots at a time, rather than a single shot. The number of shots the weapon can fire will normally be given as part of its description in the brackets. Such weapons can either fire once without penalty, or as many times as indicated in their rules with a -1 To Hit penalty (in addition to any other modifiers To Hit). War Machines with this special rule do not suffer -1 To Hit for firing Multiple Shots.
All models in the unit (excluding characters) must fire either single or Multiple Shots – the player cannot choose to fire single shots with some and Multiple Shots with others.
