Split fire, Arsenal and Deflect

[DingDong]

If I choose to split fire two weapons with a unit that has arsenal 2, and the attacking unit is defeated after suffering wounds from deflect during the first attack pool, can the attacker still perform the second attack using the additional pool?

No. The attack action will end prior to resolving further attack pools if the attacking unit is defeated by a keyword such as Deflect. Note that, as specified by Deflect, that attack will still continue, and the deflecting unit is still eligible to suffer wounds from the last attack pool.

Hope this helps,
