Transport shooting.

Quick question about the armaments on my sons Ultramarine Rhinos.

The Codex says it comes armed with a Storm Bolter. What's it's facing? Front?

It also has an additional pintle-mounted Storm Bolter option. Would this be an upgrade of the first SB, or can he fire 2?

I also assume that these are manned by crew, not passengers. So he can still shoot weapons from fire points, yes?

The Storm bolter faces all around

It would be a second Storm Bolter, which would have to fire at the same target as the first

Yes, as covered by one of the FAQ from GW's site, the troops firing from the hatch may fire at a seperate target from the Rhino.

Really? So does the troops fireing at a second target go for everyone or just Space Marines?

That Applies to ALL armies, It's covered in the Main Rule Book FAQ.

Of course that's assuming your transports GET fire points. Stupid Eldar, could quench a sun because they had nothing better to do but they cant put a fire point ON A FREAKING WAVE SERPENT!!!!! GAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
