This is for Sharpe Practice rule set from TFL. Since a Big Man cannot fire his weapon, how do others use Harper and his Nock Volley gun?

Thanks.

There are rules for the Nock volley gun in the rules; big men can fire their weapons when activated,

Nock gun info is in section 16, page 38 of the rules.

I see it is listed under "Silly Weapons", which seems appropriate.

The relevant line about firing is this, from page 6:

Big Men may do the following for one Initiative
• He, or the Group he is with, may take their turn immediately, spotting, moving, loading, firing
or attempting a task.

Oh, ok, I though I read somewhere the Big Men coudn't fire at all, and they were just there to active unts, etc.

Thank you all for the clarification.

If you've got a gun like that you've just gotta pull the trigger.
