If a unit has a profile with 2 (Small Arms) weapons does it get 1 or 2 dice in FF

There was a discussion last night stating that if the 2nd small arms did not have the detail of EA+1 on the line, then no extra dice are rolled

so in other words does

a. (small arms) + (small arms) = 1 dice?
b. (small arms) + (small arms) = 2 dice?
c. (small arms) + (small arms) EA+1 = 2 dice?
d. (small arms) + (small arms) EA+1 = 3 dice?

Thanks in advance

You need the extra attack in the notes to get an additional FF or CC attack.

Small Arms entries are primarily cosmetic unless they specifically add special rules. Multiple entries do not grant multiple attacks. Only explicit "Extra Attacks" ability adds attacks, and only the number it states.

So... a and c are correct.

Thanks for that guys

What units have multiple small arms that don't convey Extra Attacks?

The current Emperor's Children list that I am going to review has alot of entries with two (small arms) abilities.

They all have EA+1 so the discussion came up whether they give FFx2 or FFx3

Hence the question at the start

All other examples were to cover all the dfifferent possibilities

Another example is larger vehicles like tanks that have multiple weapons for shooting at different ranges, but only a single FF factor unless additional dice are confered by those weapons.

Well, War Engines do get one die per DC...

If a Small Arms have Extra Attack then any special rules linked to that Small Arms only count for that extra Attack. if they don't have an Extra Attack then the special rule counts for all their normal attacks... so

Small Arms MW
Small Arms Extra Attack +1

on a DC 3 WE would be 3 MW attacks and 1 normal one.
