Weak weapons

[Raxonika]

Help !

I have recently been told that Weak weapon rule has changed.

My reading of the rule in the Basic set indicates that weak means that there is -1 from the to hit/ attack dice and damage dice are rolled as normal (1= bulkhead, 2-6 cause 1 on each, and in addition a 6 is a critical).

I have now been told that this has changed and weak now means that the attack dice are not altered but instead there is a -1 from the damage dice, and that Weak guns cannot cause critical hits.

Which is the correct current rule ?

Correct in ACtA.

Correct in VaS.

Both, depending on which game you're playing.
