7.221 FPF NON-CC REACTION FIRE: Each DEFENDER Personnel unit [EXC: Infantry manning a Gun marked as given in 7.23] eligible to use Non-CC Reaction Fire, and marked by a Final Fire counter when OVR by other than an unarmored vehicle with no PRC, must use (as per 7.22) TPBF, an ordnance SW, a FT or a Thrown DC vs that vehicle [EXC: if pinned, it cannot use FT or DC (A7.81); if otherwise allowed, it may use CC Reaction Fire (7.212) instead]. Each FPF Reaction fire TH, TPBF/FT/IFT, or DC Position, DR also acts as a NMC DR vs the attacking DEFENDER(S) as per A8.3] (as per C5.64 for ordnance).

7.212 FPF CC REACTION FIRE: Each DEFENDER unit (even if pinned) otherwise eligible to use CC Reaction Fire, and marked with a Final Fire counter when OVR by other than an unarmored vehicle with no PRC, must attempt (as per 7.21) such a CC attack vs that vehicle [EXC: if otherwise allowed, it may use FPF Non-CC Reaction Fire (7.221) instead]. Vs an AFV, that DEFENDER may first be subject to a PAATC (see 7.21). Being currently pinned (for any reason) does not cancel its required FPF CC Reaction Fire attack. Each FPF CC Reaction Fire attack DR also acts as a NMC DR vs the attacking DEFENDER(S) as per A8.31. For DEFENDER Infantry manning a Gun, see also 7.23.

Sorry for the lot of text but ...

In "FPF NON-CC REACTION FIRE" what counts as an ordinance SW?

A 50/60mm mtr ?, Bazooka ? . If either do they Intensive Fire?

Second, since being pinned during FPF has probably used up all SW one has to use CC RF with the
detriment of " Each FPF CC Reaction Fire attack DR also acts as a NMC DR vs the attacking DEFENDER"

In a built up area this would require an non OT AFV ( to enter stone terrain) but a NMC on a near dead ( 3 CC DR) might just be worth it. Given the above amount of effort it may be eliminated for failure to rout etc. In any event bazooka can't be used in melee...
