Then an IAVR s hould not have a D10 support die, it should have a D4 or
a D6 at best. My read in seeing it have a D10 was that it was better
then a SAW against infantry.

Actually the target was worth it. If he didn't get rid of that one
infantry squad right then, he was going to loose the game. He had one
shot at it. 

I think you're taking this a little too personally. I made that call
that he could fire the IAVRs as his second action because the rules said
WEAPON, the activation gives you enough time to fire and move 60m, and
the thought was that the squad was laying fire down on the enemy, they
noticed that it wasn't doing enough and they decided to throw a couple
of rockets at them. Looking back I don't allowing them to all shoot one
off was a perfect idea but 1 or 2 would have been ok.
