I don't think so--that's how we've understood SHWs and BMs for a while,
since Q&A here. I think the question is whether it is one SHW with the
effect of 3xAT or 3 AT SHWs. The name/model might give clues, but having it
listed as 3xAT doesn't clear it up, since I think that's the same as for
Land Raider guns.

Thanks for posting about Firepower contents.

As a continuing forum, do you mean this is supposed to be a new regular
publication, dedicated to Epic?
