Short answer: You don't.

Long answer: GMS are not anti-personnel weapons. They can engage point
targets (vehicles, bunkers, etc) but not squads. When firing GMS at
vehicles or other point targets, roll GMS system & firer quality (two
die) VS target's ECM, instead of the usual range die procedure. See the
SG2 Quick Ref card under "Fire Combat" for details on resolving hits.

IAVRs can be fired as oneshot anti-personnel weapons; just add one d10
to
your normal handful of firing die. GMSs, however, do not have an
anti-personnel mode.

Hope this helps,
