Well, yeah. That's the whole point of Disrupt weapons.
You take BMs for how many SHWs are firing at you, plus a BM for
every Disrupt weapon that rolls a 4+.

Biovores only have a range of 60cm (of course, you can
spore drop them...). What do you mean by "drive off"? The BMs
just keep you from moving or shooting effectively. Yeah, it
sucks, but then again it sucks facing an army that's entirely
Stubborn and has great armor values with no shortage of AT shots.
Everyone has their perks.

Don't take such huge detachments. It doesn't take Disrupt
weapons to hamstring something so large and unwieldy. The only
army that can get away with taking large detachments is the bugs,
since they get to ignore Ld tests.
