You realize a double tap refers specifically to a technique that relies on careful, controlled aiming to put multiple shots into the same target, rather than wildy spraying bullets and hoping to hit something;).

Edit:No need for me to be a Troll.It just annoys me when people say things that aren't entirely correct.Double tap is good technique in close...snap shooting is instinctive shooting, I'm a dick for aplying real life to a game.Its funny because someone did the same thing befor and set me off because they were talking out thier ***.
Edit:It is more controlled than I may have conveyed and when I think about it its more about being confident you've definitely stopped the man.In a panic'd situation its not as slow and deliberate as it is on the range though.
No worries, I'm just making fun;).
Over at Faeit 212 they've been posting a lot fo BoW rumours about 6th ed. Today this one caught my eye
Right....so it means Terminators are virtually unkillable by most armies in CC. Howling Banshees? Nope. Incubi? Nope.Quote:

*All Close Combat Weapons will have an AP value
* Power Weapons AP3
* Power Fists AP2
* Chainfists AP1
I think this is a case of we are looking at it from a 5th ed mind set for how armor will work. I may be wrong on this but combining this with another rumor on the internet of how the game follows fantasy more. If I am not mistaken (I don't play fantasy so I may be) the way their armor works is for every point of strength above strength X (Lets say 4) you reduce your opponents armor by 1 so if we take that assumption and we add in AP to weapons also adding in another potentially false rumor which was power weapons do things like add +2 to Str then your power weapons effectively are AP1 against most models. So maybe they are not unkillable.
I am being highly speculative as I am piecing rumors to other rumors to try and make something that sounds logical to me, but it sounds like it could have merit in that regards.
Correction: Terminators with Storm Shields are unkillable.
Just think about it: even a unit full of power weapons like, say, a GK squad, doing nothing to that 2+ save, except with their hidden hammers, which still have a 3++ to contend with. Yikes.
I hope there's more to this rumour than meets the eye.
Also, if this holds true with some earlier rumours like, say, chainswords getting AP6 in CC, this will make a lot of Ork Boyz and Hormagaunts very, very sad unless there's more to it that we don't understand yet...6+ saves don't really need to be made worse...you already count on your models to fail them.
Well some AP level in CC makes sense. A knife will be worse than a chainsword. And a 6+ armour....why would an Orks effectively T shirt stop a chain sword? Fluff wise it makes sense. Rules wise, a lot will have to change. Maybe.
Making an Assault more devestating, makes the stand and shoot seem less extreme
I really want this rule book, but not for the same reason i wanted it before the rumours started
I agree that some AP level in CC makes sense.
And I'm not ready to call any shenanigans without a rulebook, of course. That and I'm pretty confident that 6th edition's rules will be fine - only requiring some getting used to.
Still not sure if terminators need to be any scarier though, hehe.
