Trying to confirm this:
Ordnance (any weapon which must score a hit on a To Hit Table before rolling again on the IFT or To Kill Table to resolve that hit):
[which weapons are those? Where is this specified? I can't find this.]
Gun (for firing purposes, any weapon on a 5/8" counter currently firing as ordnance;
[Implying that guns may not have to fire as ordnance. Sure, the known exception is IFE, but this doesn't say GUNS otherwise must behave as ordnance although it is implied.]
A9.6 VEHICULAR TARGETS: The process for resolution of MG fire vs vehicular targets is dependent on whether the vehicle Target Facing/Aspect is armored or not. If the Target Facing is armored, such fire is resolved on the AP To Kill Table after securing a hit on the To Hit Table;
[Clear that MGs must make a TH die roll but I find no equivalent rule specifying that GUNS must make a TH die roll, except: see C2.29 below for a reference to the 'normal TH procedure,' -- unspecified in the rules as such and unreferenced in the passage -- there is reference to a TH process for Ordnance in C3.1, but not a normal TH procedure ]
C2.29 INFANTRY FIREPOWER EQUIVALENT (IFE): This is a special option afforded certain Guns with a high ROF. Any number appearing in parentheses is that Gun's IFE, which is used directly on the IFT in lieu of using the normal TH procedure
[The normal TH procedure? what is that? Is this the only place telling us that 'normally, GUNS fire as Ordnance?' Surely and hopefully I am mistaken...but I've poured over the rules for 45 minutes now so I must be missing the obvious..]
