Firing Pistols and Flamethrowers

[Mark Prichard]

Both pistols and flamethrowers have a range of 6″ do they have to suffer a -1 if the target is over 3″ away as it is more than half their distance just as other weapons?

[Stuart Harrison]

Yes, there is nothing preventing an overlap between long range and point blank – even if it does seem a little counter-intuitive.

Edit – I’d suggest you delete your duplicate thread to keep answers together 😉

Or at least mark the other as duplicate!

But yeah there is nothing to say both modifiers don’t apply

[Mark Prichard]

I don’t know how to do that. I tried to delete it after it happened I could not figure out how to do that either.

Just to get this clear:
Regular flamer on Range 1 to 3: 2 to hit
and
Regular flamer on Range 3 to 6: 3 to hit

Is this correct?

[Nat]

In theory … yes.

In practise dont forget that flamethrowers dont have assault, subject to PINs & loss of team also apply

[Stuart Harrison]

As Nat says, those numbers are correct assuming no other modifiers are in play – moved, target is small team, pins, team weapon reduced to one man, etc all have to be considered unless specifically excluded (ie: cover and down don’t apply to flamethrower shots due to the flamethrower special rules).
