Any roll to wound of 6 automatically causes a wound regardless of Toughness, even against targets whose Toughness would normally prevent them from being wounded even on a 6. Any vehicle that suffers a hit from a gauss weapon will suffer a glancing hit on a D6 roll of 6, even if the target's armor value is greater than could normally be penetrated. Note that a roll that beats the target's armor value by rolling a 6 still causes a penetrating hit. If a gauss weapon inflicts a glancing hit on a vehicle in which only glancing hits are possible, for example, a hull down vehicle, a vehicle screened by smoke launchers or one protected by a kustom force field, then a glancing hit is still inflicted. If a gauss weapon scores a glancing hit on a vehicle with a roll of 6 when it would not otherwise be able to damage it, and the vehicle is one which treats glancing hits as penetrating hits, such as the Hellhound, then it remains a glancing hit.
