Any Limits as to how many times a character can purchase Combat Skill Levels?

[tcabril]

I have read (and re-read) the Combat Skill Levels rules in the Skills chapter of 6E1 and I don't see any prohibition on taking the same Combat Skill level multiple times - in fact I think that one must in some cases.
I just want to confirm.

So...

Could a character (PC or NPC) take the 2-point CSLS [which provides +1 OCV to a single weapon or attack] 5 times (10pts) and gain a +5 OCV to ranged sniper rifles?
Or...
Could a character take the 5-point CSLS [which provides +1 OCV with a large group of attacks {such as all firearms}] 3 times (15pts) and gain a +3 OCV to all firearm attacks?

My thought is one can - as I can find no rule to the contrary.

Additionally I believe the character example of Randall Irons on page 6E1-436 bears my theory out - it can be the only explaination that I can figure for his 10pt skill resulting in +2 with Firearms.

Can someone back me up or explain where I am wrong with this?

You are very much in the right, good sir/ma'am/[other, as the case may be].

Of course, an individual campaign might have a cap on how many CSLs the GM might allow a character to purchase, but there's no specific limit in the rules.

Or a limit for total OCV/DCV/Damage.

Cool and Thanks!!!

BTW - what prompted this was the 10pt +2 on all Firearms under the Randall Irons example!

It took awhile but I actually got a confirmation on an understanding rather than me gettiing it completely wrong (which is often the case LOL!!!)

Always nice with variation.
