Wholie cow! That's one big squad! Twenty rifles and one SAW? Man, I'd
hate to come
up against that with my puny NAC squad of 8 dudes! They'd get hammered
for sure!

Then use the lowest I.V. of the weapons that fired.
Hmm...that's a good one. Well, one could use the lowest I.V. of the
weapons, or I
guess one could just roll off to make a choice. 1-2 it's the lowest
I.V., 3-4 it's
split evenly between the lowest and the highest, 5-6 the highest.
