--------> No. Earlier versions of the game assumed many of the other
close combat weapons (Ripper Fist-gargants, Doomfist(?) on the Banelord,
Eldar PowerFist,etc) had guns of various capabilities built in for when
the unit was not in CC, and the mini's usually even looked this way. The
Mega-Gargant's arm was CC only in TL, so looks like they just carried it
over.
   I would say that you can look at the mini's and tell, but this falls
down with the Imperials. Last ed, those CC weapons had no shooty bits,
now they do. Oh well, they'll probably change that when they release new
Reavers and 'Hounds.

   Now a new one. The Mega lists "3xGun Decks". So, given the 8 fp each,
this would be 24 fp. It also says "2xKrooz Missiles". Now in SM/TL these
were one-shot missiles, but looking at it now, I would assume that means
2 shots per turn. I believe someone mentioned something like this a
while back (Could I be a little more vague?) so what came of it?
