Yep, you can have 50% rippers with VCs then. Before you actually convert this you perhaps should try it out with proxies (just mark the VC bases with something) in some friendly games. After all, rippers are hard to get, and rending claws are by far the most popular mutation.
That would be an interesting conversion project. Maybe you could place a spare VC on the vipper base and somehowhave the ripper models grown into the cannon so they are all carrying it. Weird, but doable.
Though remember, the Rippers have a rather atrocious BS... Approximately 1 of the three shots per base of VC Rippers hit, and I wouldn't consider that a very good investment. (N)
True...but of a BS4 heavy bolter only two shots hit in average too, only 1.5 of a BS3 heavy bolter. Different to venom cannons, these can't be fired on the move either.

No, I think AA just had a bit odd grammatical structure... 8)
Essentially what I believe AA tried to say was "They aren't that accurate and can't be fired on the move either" in reference to HB abilities, not VCannon.
Thus the VCannon as an Assault weapon would be better, since yes, it can move and fire (and assault). =)
Umm yeah. I know it's a little odd because "different to venom cannons" is a non-negated statement, while the word "either" is most commonly used in combination with a previous negated statement.
As a sidenote, in my native language positive reiteration ("too" in English) and negative reiteration ("either") are based on the same word, explicitly negated in the latter case ("auch" and "auch nicht"). Essentially it's "not too" instead of "either".
