Ah! Okay, THAT question I don't think has been asked. 

Hmm... That's a really good question. 

I don't think it's actually in the rules which to use. In fact, the
rules are
very vague on multiple support weapons. 

I would do it this way, only as a referee having to make a spot decision
(not
that there's any rule on it). I would take the weapon with the highest
FP and
use its impact. If the two weapons have the same, I'd either roll
randomly
each time to see which one applies, or allow the firer to choose.

The reason for basing it on FP? If FP is a measure of the volume of fire
hitting a target, then it would seem to me that the highest FP weapon is
the
one doing the bulk of the damage.

The other way around is to roll randomly per casualty to find out what
hit the
figure. This may be preferable to your players, but I think it would
slow
things up. 

Again, just some suggestions...
