Can an austringer make a focused raptor attack while engaged?
Baseline raptor is not a projectile. Even with the nastiest of nasties in their face an austringer can chuck out birds left and right without a care in the world. The rules prohibit a model from declaring a projectile attack while engaged. Raptor becomes a projectile when it benefits from focus. Focus comes into play when a action's already being declared. So, unless there's an additional 'check legality step' in resolving an ability the action is already past the point where the projectile prohibition would come into play. Or is this one of those things where there is an argument for a 'smart' game state which would actively prohibit an action that would later become illegal?
