Hi, Scott.
First off, for those of us that don't have/like/want HTML e-mail

Machine guns use the infantry support weapon mechanism. If you have an
infantry squad with a machine gun and the squad fires _just_ the machine
gun,
you roll Quality Die + Support Weapon Firepower Die (I think this would
be a
D10).
Now, the rules don't specifically cover dual mount weapons. However, I
use
Kryomek APC miniatures for my Japanese mercenaries which have dual
machine
guns. I roll Quality Die + Support Weapon Firepower Die + Support Weapon
Firepower Die. In your case it would be D8 + D10 + D10, and treat as per
small
arms fire.

First off, none of the machine guns on a vehicle use fire control. Use
the
small arms mechanics for machine guns on vehicles firing at infantry.
Second,
the "free" support weapon means it comes with the vehicle without you
having
to pay for it in points.

Yes, you did that right. Wounded (i.e. not dead) figures are potential
casualties.
