Clarification on Maximal Setting

By Deacon Yolorax, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Is it assumed that when you're firing a weapon on the Maximal setting, that you are firing on the lowest RoF? It just didn't make sense to me that firing a 2 round burst would have the same recharge time as a single shot.

I would be grateful for any clarification or even an idea on how to approach this.

It doesn't say you can't do semi-auto or full-auto, so you can, given it's based on the original weapon's profile and specifically lists any changes that should be made.

It also says "...three times the normal amount of ammunition per shot and..." which would lead me to believe that you can, indeed, fire multiple shots before having to Recharge.

That's at RAW though. It's your game. If you feel it's appropriate to only allow single-shot, as a GM, then only single-shot is allowed in your games.
