Even if there's, extreme example, twenty rifles and one SAW?

I assume that casulaties means potential hits in this context?

And if the qaulity die had beaten the target, what then?
Or if there had been four potential hits? Dice that fail to beat the

Impact values in a squad's fire - the Quick and Dirty Option from 
pp36-37.
