Let's look at the modern US light infantry platoon. (From memory, please
correct if I left something out)

Three Squads, each of 9 men.  Two of those men carry SAWs.
HQ: PL, PSG, RTO
Weapons Squad:2xLMG teams each of two men.

I know I organize my NRE along the same lines.	2 SAWs in a squad, plus
a weapons team, plus an anti-armor team with several GMS/Ps.  It makes
sense.	Plus I hand out buzz-bombs on a 2 per team basis.  So
potentially, I could have a squad firing 4 IVARs, plus 2 SAWs. 
Realistically, I'd not want to waste them all on one target, but it's
possible.

If that means you roll a handful of dice, so be it.  I'd let each weapon
fire seperately.
