Right, but the Rapier is more difficult to aim as it does not scatter.

I meant you are allowed to shot in any direction (given the usual
Choosing a target rule) WHILE you are on Over watch:Rules state that
Heavy Weapons on Over watch can't shot all around, but are restricted by
180� field of fire (I.e.. they can't turn as light weapons do), but
Tarantula CAN do it.
If you are assaulted by Flying or Warping guys your heavy troops can't
shot them as the attack will come from behind: this is the real strength
of tarantula, in that it can shot over watch all around with the punch
of twin linked Heavy Bolters (4d sustained fire at S5 !!!!)
