There is actually one edge case where you can perform a maneuver during combat: Daredevil. If an effect grants you a free action during the combat round, say Airen Cracken, you could use daredevil to reposition yourself. Because that movement technically counts as a maneuver, it would trigger snap shots.

That said, you would rarely want to snap shot during combat, as the unmodifiable 2-dice attack is not particularly great compared to the 3+ dice most ships get at range 1. HWKs don't even get excited because at range 1 they have 2 dice anyway (and their normal attack can be modified). However, if you've already fired normally before snap shot is triggered, you could indeed attack twice this way in combat.

But keep in mind, this is entirely dependent on what your opponent has equipped and chooses to do; daredeviling in front of your snap-shot-equipped ship is not a common occurrance. Not at all. It's such an edge case. :)
