Pistols in cc

Army and the weapons charts would not support that rumor.

 

No.

 

Is he maybe thinking about the discussion where if I recall correctly it was determined pistols with +1B on the profile get that extra burst in CC on the active turn?

 

Pistols with (+1 Burst) get the +1 burst when used in CC in the active turn, but that's it.

 

Does CC (+1B) affect pistols? Would a CC (+1B), Assault Pistol (+1B) trooper fire 3 Burst in CC?

 

Burst mods don't stack unless they explicitly say they do.

 

Oh, right. And as far as now, only the Fireteam did, right?

 

yup

 

I can't find this in the rulebook. Could you point it to me please ? I could not convince my opponent :)

Thanks

 

Page 81, red "Important" box under the Modifiers (MODs) heading.

"...Troopers with more than one of these MODs may only apply one of them at a time."

 

Related question - does this rule also apply to Firewall and similar MODs? For instance Scarface has ECM: Hacker (-3). Could you also apply the -3 MOD from Fairy Dust?

 

No, that part is specifically referencing Burst.

Fairy Dust will stack with Joe's ECM, though it won't stack with another Firewall (such as from a Tinbot)

 

Thanks @colbrook
