Hi all, fairly new to the game.

Played with a friend today and ran into some confusion with the BARC with it's weapons + arsenal keyword even after referring to the rules reference we were still not 100%.

Scenario:

1. My "naked" BARC is going to use the main twin blaster cannons on a tank directly in front. Due to Arsenal 2 I should also be able to use the BARC pilots blaster rifle to form another attack pool against a trooper behind me. Correct?

2. With the same scenario... If the BARC had the sidecar upgrade say, Ion Gunner. My understanding is because the gunner card does not "add 1 mini", you can just think of it as a "weapon addition" and it would take the place of the second blast rifle weapon because the BARC is still considered to be only 1 mini for the sake of the Arsenal 2 text.

Thanks in advance.

1. Correct. Arsenal allows you to attack with up to X eligible weapons, against the same or different targets.

2. Correct, although it doesn't strictly replace the blaster rifle, it just gives you another option when selecting eligible weapons for your attack.
