aoe with gunfighter.

i have been reading through the new book wrath and i noticed the new khador jack demolisher has the gun fighter rule to allow it to use its guns in combat. my question is does this mean in combat these guns will auto hit, as even if you fail to roll to hit the furthest you will be away from the target is half an inch and the prime rule book states that an aoe can only ever scatter upto half the distance between the model firing it and its target. this would mean the aoe it never going to move any futher than a quarter of an inch.

what do you guys think, as if thats right that would be 2 power 15 attacks hitting automatically!!

True to an extent. Half the distance is 0, but alas a miss is still a miss. Therefore although it will still appear to be a direct hit, but will only be half POW, as anything not directly hit by the aoe blast takes half POW.

thought it may be that cheers for clearing it up tho.
