Hi!
Snap fire is an all or nothing affair. When you do you must snap fire
all your weapons and thus your turn ends. Thus it is really
counterproductive to use praetorians and titans to snap fire, unless
they are doing so to some other fleeing titan/praetorian before it
leaves line of sight. The tactical spectrum of use is very narrow
though.

If a unit performs a 'snap-fire' what else can it do?
a: Nothing, this is it's action for the turn.
b: If the unit has more than one weapon (the one that snap-fired)
it may fire the other weapon(s) in the advance fire phase.
This is especially important to Titans, Super-heavies and
Praetorians. If snap-fire takes up ALL attacks this really hurts
the big guys.
