If modifiers would reduce your shooting dice to zero or less do you get one dice or can you just not shoot?

Thanks.

Depends on the impetus version. Minimum of 1 die for version 2 and no minimum for version 1.

Good point Jorento. Which version of Impetus, Eques, are you asking about in this question and your other questions?

I really hate this change in V.2 for always getting a minimum of one die in shooting.  It just encourages everyone to take every impossible shot.

I would like the rule 6.1.1 to be changed as follows:

" In case the number of dice is reduced to 0 or less, one die is rolled anyway IF THE FIRING UNIT IS NOT ALREADY EXHAUSTED"

What we have done Stecal is make shooting with 0 dice a disordering effect. So it only causes a casualty if the target unit is already disordered. Otherwise a hit causes a disorder.
