However, I bring up the issue because of something I ran across.
Basically, I have heard of mixed rulings at Rogue Traders and other events.
Also, a major annual officially sponsored event, Adepticon (http://www.adepticon.org) specifically says that Skimmers CAN be penetrated in an assault in their FAQ on rules.
The argument for the "can penetrate" rule is that the glancing rule is in the shooting section. In the assault section, it mentions nothing about skimmers other than it takes a 6 to hit.
So am I saying the FAQ is wrong? No, but I am saying that it should not be deemed as always right. The fact that there have been official rulings stating the contrary should make someone ask before a Rogue Trader or other event. It is a siginificant ruling for anyone using skimmers, or even people who face them.
