Since the user of a PRC-44B Yellowjacket can't use any other gear cards
while using the Yellowjacket can he still use NERPS! (copying a gear card)?
Off-hand I'd say no since it replicates gear.

Can you add fixed fire cannons to a Yellowjacket? I'd say yes since the
gear is added to the vehicle and not the user.

Lastly, can yellowjacket be used by any rigger or does the rigger also
require 2 piloting? Other runners with 2 piloting can use it but I think a
rigger can use it with only one piloting.

Are my assumptions above correct?

Anyone else out there use the Wheeler/Yellowjacket combo to make Wheeler a
10/4 (A2) as soon as he comes out? (Since he gets a vehicle free from the
deck).

Regards,
Adrian.

A rigger of one piloting can definitely use the Yellowjacket -- it says
rigger OR piloting 2. As per the fixed fire cannons...??? It makes
logical sense to have a fixed-fire cannon on a helicopter, but the card
says no other gear. Or is the Yellowjacket using the gear, since its an
accessory card to the Yellowjacket? Fuck if I know -- I've run across
the same problem. Personally, I just like the Harley with a couple
cannons. It works and it cracks me up to boot.

You obviously dunno what a yellowjacket it. It can't really take
additional weapons. Most attack helicopters can't cause they are
already under a full combat load. The yellowjacket in particular is
already loaded down, being an uparmored wasp.

Theres that language again. Doesn't bother me, but there are
people on this list who are young or may take offense.

Especially when Tommygun grabs his HK227 and goes for a ride :).
Expensive, but ugly.
I kinda like the bulldog van w/ cannons.

If Tommy-boy had a Tommygun, he could use burst fire three times per
combat, right? For 5¥, granted, but ouch....
