[SG2] Newbie Questions . . .

Greetings, Folks!

Well, it looks like we're getting quite a few folks interested in SG2 as
an
alternative to WH40K <eg>.  In the demo game tonight - my second - we
came
up with a couple of questions that weren't clear by the rules.

Question #1) Can a unit "split fire" against the *same* target in a turn
by
using both of its actions?  

Situation: Blue Unit A is hunkered down In Position.  They fire all of
their small arms at the enemy Red Unit 1, then use their *second* action
to
fire the SAW at the same unit.	The difference between doing this split
fire and simply adding the SAW into the first roll is that it gives the
firing unit an extra die roll for the second attack.
(Quality+Firepower+SAW
vs Quality+Firepower with Quality+SAW as a second attack)

We could not find anything that would prohibit this tactic, even though
the
rules make a bit of an assumption that a second attack would be used
against a different target.

Question #2) Can a unit perform a Close Assault in the same turn that
they
have performed Ranged Fire?

Situation: Blue Unit B performs Ranged Fire against an enemy unit during
their normal activation.  Later in the turn, the Platoon Commander
passes
one of his actions to Blue Unit B, giving them a second activation in
the
same turn.  Can the Blue unit now perform a Close Assault, or does this
violate the "can only fire each weapon once per turn" rule?
