Heavy Sniper Rifle, Firepower and Support Weapon Question

[Robert Foran]

Questions galore:

Since a sniper/DMR organic to a squad doesn’t seem to add support weapon Firepower Die to the squad. Does a Heavy sniper rifle do so?

If so is it considered Light, Medium or Heavy for that purpose?

When used in a sniper team, what is the Firepower of an Advanced Heavy Sniper Rifle at different tech levels?

Page 79 has the Heavy Sniper Rifle at AP:2/AT:1 (L), does that include the weapon team bonus?

If not, should the sniper teams weapon be rated at AP:4/AT:1 (L)? or or should it be AP:4/AT:3 (L)?

Not including the questions above, am I using the Advanced Support Weapon Effects Tables on page 76 correctly?

TL1 Heavy Sniper Rifle ABW AP:3/AT:1 (L)

TL2 Heavy Sniper Rifle ABW AP:3/AT:1 (L) (+1 to damage roll on vehicle damage table)

TL3 Heavy Sniper Rifle ABW AP:3/AT:2 (L) (+1 to damage roll on vehicle damage table)
