The defender cannot spend another defense token of the same type spent to resolve Reactive Gunnery. A defender cannot spend more than one defense token of each type per attack.

For example, a defender cannot spend one Redirect token to resolve the Redirect effect and a second Redirect token to resolve the Salvo effect with Reactive Gunnery.

During the “Spend Defense Tokens” step, Reactive Gunnery may be exhausted to spend 1 readied defense token to resolve the Salvo defense effect instead of that token’s effect. You cannot also spend a Salvo defense token to resolve more than 1 Salvo attack.

Per RRG you still restricted to only spending one type of token per attack.

Example, You could spend a Redirect token to resolve Reactive Gunnery but then you could not spend another Redirect token to resolve the standard effect. As that would result in spending the same type of token twice.

If a readied defense token was spent by the attacker by a card effect such as Admiral Sloane, Reactive Gunnery does not allow for that defense token spent by the attacker to be used for this effect.
