Help with IHMN......

[the fallen scholar]

Hi guys
I need a little help with IHMN.  I was reading the rule book and I am still trying to figure out how a machine gun works in the game?  Can someone tell me how?  It is a little confusing.  Does it get two shots?

Regards

You split the shoot value of the figure, so if the figure has Shoot +2 then you could shoot once at +7 or twice at +6. A figure with Shoot +3 could shoot once at +8, three times at +6 or twice with one shot at +7 and the other at +6. This would continue to scale, until your opponent punches you in the face 

Make sense?

Hi.
"Gatling or early water-cooled (e.g. Vickers, Maxim). Attacks can be split between multiple targets. If fired into a group attacks all targets equally (see 3.3.3)"
Alright so here is how I understand it. Lets look at Lord Curr's Man Servant he has a Machine Gun and a SV of +2 so he is firing at a group of enemies lets say cultist. He get to roll a Ranged attack at each member of that group using his SV +2 plus the SV bonus from Machine gun. So if there were 2 cultist that is two attacks if there where 47 cultist inthe group he gets to make 47 attacks. Machine guns as I read the rules are crowd control weapons. I also read it as the Machine gun allows a Character with SV +2 to attack two individuals outside of groups at +1 SV each plus the SV bonus from Machine gun Or a Character with SV +3 to attack three individuals at +1 SV or two at +1 and +2 respectively plus the SV bonus from Machine gun.
I may be completely wrong though and I would wait for Craig to verify this before using my interpretation of the
