Yes, that's the way d20 in general (as opposed to just WW) works.

i never noticed that. Probably because my copies don't read that
background writing very well.  Off the top of my head i'd say it's for
marking the off hand penalty - except that it makes no sense to put it
there.

Yes.

Nope, that's covered by the Firearms Proficiency right along with
pistols, SMGs and rifles.

Not for BotR as these items (except for the binocs) are aircrew material.
 Hopefully they showed up in DFA (i dunno, i don't own it).

Got me.  For our games we consider Navigation a class skill for Grunts,
Officers, Scouts, & Snipers.
