Excuse me?  I quote from page 5, first column, paragraph 8.

"Simply, when firing any weapon system that is capable of penetrating
damage (as specified for each type of system), any roll of SIX inflicts
the usual damage AND allows a "reroll" - roll an extra die, and apply
any further damage that is indicated by the result.  If this reroll is
ALSO a six, then apply the damage and roll again.  There is no limit to
the number of rerolls you can make if you keep throwing sixes."

Caps and parens as per the original.
