In the main rules you can 'split' the support weapon off and fire it
separately if you wish. If you want to split your small arms fire I
suspect
you would have to detach a group from the squad (making two mini squads)
and work your fire like that. There are rules for making detached
groups.
Basically, your 'main' group would use one action to fire and the
commander
would use the other action to activate the detached group, who could
then
fire at a separate target. The main rules tend to imply that if a squad
targets something, they all shoot at it.

Goodoh.

My group declares when they begin the action - you either say "I'm
moving
this group" in which case it's normal 6" or whatever or you say "I'm
doing
a combat move to that {thing} there" in which case you roll the dice.

I don't know if this is official but it's a house rule of ours that yes
you
can. Furthermore any wounded figure CAN take another hit from the same
burst of fire and if wounded again is considered dead. (We rule that
wounded figures cannot be targeted in subsequent bursts of fire).
