Yes. It doesn't say you can't. It would usually be a carrying out a
FOLLOW 
THROUGH (see p.43) after a Close Assault.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

?

This is an Errata on p.33, it should read: "NO WEAPON MAY BE FIRED MORE 
THAN ONCE PER ACTIVATION."

>4) Does a vehicle mounted infantry support weapon roll three dice
(Support

No, it rolls two dice: Quality Die and Support Firepower Die. Infantry 
support weapons do not use the vehicle's fire control system.

>5) What is considered normal armor for a building or terrain feature ?

Whatever you like! But see the table on p.56. Terrain features (other
than 
buildings) don't count as having armour, they provide either hard or
soft 
cover. A hill would block the line of sight so you cant fire at a unit 
behind a hill (see p.11).
