Does disembarking count as moving?

I don't know if it as been answered before, but I'll ask anyway.

Does disembarking from a transport count as moving?

If your vehicule was stationnary at the beginning of your turn and your unit disembark, can you fire your heavy weapons?

Logically, I think it count as moving. But I can't find the rule that says so. I looked in the rule book and couldn't find it. Maybe you can help me with that.

Thanks

Without my BRB on hand, I am relying on my spotting memory. However, I do believe that disembarking does disallow the use of heavy weapons.

If I am wrong, then damn I have been cheating myself, but I feel confident about that answer.

unfortunately you cannot fire the heavy weapon, you can move as normal and even assault afterward but no you can't pile out and fire... if the vehicle is open topped or has a firing hatch you can just remain inside the vehicle and fire the heavy weapon.

It's on page 67 in the Disembarking section (last sentences under each bulleted point).

In every case, a disembarking unit counts as moving for shooting.

Remember you can assault if the rhino didnt move

Also it has two firing points, so if it didnt move you could fire say a lascannon and plasmagun out of the top :P
