Questions on the MIU Weapon Interface

By HappyDaze, in Rogue Trader

1) What weapons can be fitted to the shoulder mount?

2) When you use the Free action to fire the weapon, can it be a Full Auto Burst or a Semi-Auto Burst?

3) If the weapon fitted to the shoulder mount is a pistol, can it be fired in melee?

4) Is it possible to take the MIU Weapon Interface a second time to mount a weapon on the other shoulder? Could this be used to grant Twin-linked to a pair of weapons so mounted?

Some of that info is covered in the errata, in the FAQ section.

Re: 1) OK, so limited to Pistols for the most part, but possibly including Basic weapons, right? The Errata says it both ways.

Re: 2) I'm still not sure if Full Auto Burst or Semi-Auto Burst are allowed with the Free action attack from a MIU-linked weapon, and let me add Suppressive Fire to that list too.

Re: 3) I found nothing on this in the errata.

Well, with 3, if it is a pistol, I see no reason why they couldn't be used like any other pistol, which includes it being usable in melee.

For 2, I'd probably send a request to Sam, since I've always just assumed you can fire it as any other weapon can be fired, but it counted as a free action, but that might not be the case.
