So I'm still having troble grasping crit rating.
My understanding is if a weapon has crit rating 3 it needs 3 degrees of sucess to score a critical hit. Then what happens? You roll a d10 on the critical hit chart?
So then a low crit rating is desirable for a weapon correct?

Your understanding of Crit rating is correct; a lower Crit rating requires fewer degrees of success to inflict a crit.
However you roll 1d5 crit table not 1d10. (RT Core Book pg.220 Weapons and Shooting Section)
Hope this helps.
yes perfect thanks alot!
Rogue Trader - Core Rulebook 219. p.
"Crit Rating: This is the number of successes the shot must have to score a critical hiz on the target."
IMO This means you dont need equal degree, just equal succeses. Ex: Crit rating 3 = Simple succes + 2 Degree
I asked FFG about that a while back, and got an answer from Sam Stewart.

Q: In order to get a crit you need "a number of successes equal to the weapon's Crit rating" (page 220).
What does "successes" mean here? Is it the same as "degrees of success"? Does simply succeeding on a Test mean 0 "successes"?
A: Crits need a number of Degrees of Success. Simply succeeding earns you no Degrees of Success. Sorry for the confusion there.
