RoF Vs half action for firing

By Atreides3, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Firing a weapon is a half-action. A melee attack is a half-action.

Does dat mean if the character's weapon is already drawn, he gets TWO attacks a round?

If the rate of fire is S/-/-, does that mean he can fire ONLY ONE shot per round, even if doing so is only a half-action?

Thanks in advance for any answers.
