MG Main Armament and Sustained Fire

[Vinnie]

Played AP7 Directive No.3 this week and something came up that I do not know the ruling on.
A MG that is the main armament may sustained fire.
If it is MA it may make a To Kill attempt.
May it make a to kill attempt as sustained fire? A standard infantry MG may not do so as it is halved.
May it make a to kill attempot as bounding fire?

A MA may make a TH/TK attempt as Bounding Fire.

D3.3 & D3.53
Can a vehicular MG that is the vehicle’s MA, fire a “AFV To Kill DR” as Bounding First Fire? If so, why does the portion of
A9.61 that says “Such an attack must be made...without any form of halved FP penalty imposed...” not apply?
A. Yes, just as it can in AFPh. Because of D3.53.

Sustained Fire can't be used for making a TH attempt - that would be Intensive Fire, which I believe is NA for MG (even MA).

 

[Vinnie]

5.6 CASE F; INTENSIVE FIRE: Intensive Fire is available only to Guns (not SW),

Gun (for firing purposes, any weapon on a 5/8" counter currently firing as ordnance;

This is a weapon on a 5/8" counter firing as ordnance so why could it not? (please nnote I'm not saying it can, I'm trying to track down where the ruling would come from!)

from the q&a:

C5.6 May a vehicular-mounted MG/ATR/light-MTR use Intensive Fire?
A. Yes, if it is MA. Such a weapon is considered a Gun (C2.1). [An93a; An95w; An96; Mw]
