Hi,
on page 373 there is a DCV modifier table which states that using any autofire skill causes a 1/2 DCV penalty. the Autofire skill section doesn't mention any penalty for DCV. What is the judgment regarding this?

Two weapon fighting skill removes the DCV penalty of Rapid Fire maneuver for using two attacks, one in the main hand and another in the off hand. Is it still valid if I want to make additional attack with my main hand using the rapid fire maneuver and not just two attacks?

Last thing:
If I have two-weapon fighting skill and rapid autofire skill and have two weapons with autofire. The two-weapon fighting skill cancels the 1/2 DCV from the rapid fire, but the 1/2 DCV from the rapid autofire skill is still valid so I still have that penalty, right? (this question is relevant according to the answer of the first question)

Thanks

The Autofire Skills text on 5ER 50 explicitly mentions the halving of DCV for using any of those Skills.

I'm not sure I understand the second question. Two-Weapon Fighting negates the first -2 penalty for Rapid Fire, with the explanation being that you're using a weapon in each hand; if you want to Rapid Fire three or more shots, the additional penalties accumulate as normal for Rapid Fire.

Yes, a character using Rapid Autofire with Two-Weapon Fighting is going to suffer a halving of his DCV due to using Rapid Autofire.
