Okay,..........so........basically, ..........if there are 4 guys with
M16's, (read
Advanced Assault Rifles), and a .50 cal for support, firing at a bunch
of numb-skulls in
the open, the .50 has no "impact value" on the numb-skulls in the open,
when it comes time
to divvy up potential hits. Curious.
Tell that to the numb-skulls. Beg to differ......a .50 cal can punch a
whole right through
a M-113.  Armored Personnel Carrier. Been there, done that.  Imagine,
trying to convince
the numb-skulls that the .50 cal is only there to scare you. It won't
"really" do anything
to you, so ignore it. D'OH! :o
Seems to me, that if the potential hits are an even number, that the
shots should be split
up between the support weapon and the rifles being used. Or, if it's an
odd number of
hits, that they should be split as even as possible, then the odd shot
would be rolled
off, 1-3 Assault Rifles, 4-6 SAW. (A hit of 1 would be dealt the same
way.)
<Bing!> I smell a house rule forming...............
