Interesting comments.

Although SG actually formulates 1 squad = TWO support weapons. Someone
else
also pointed out that IAVR's are used in multiples as well. 

Section support weapons are really, I think a separate issue to the
purely
AFV killing approach you are pursuing. 

In real life most of the historical situations I think you are alluding
to
would actually be a squad of two or more teams each with an anti-armour
weapon. In SG terms this is actually best represented by individual
squads;
albeit consisting of 2 or 3 men. Examples in the Australian Army include
the
Infantry Battalion Direct Fire Weapons Platoon or Anti-armour Platoon; a
Section actually consists of two Detachments which in SG terms are
really
two squads.

Anyway, as you say the 4 weapons 4 shots is probably going to be your
best
bet as long as they are all firing at the one target.
