But then again a Pulsar (my continuous gripe) fires 1d6 shots but will be
prevented from firing from 1 blast marker.

In the Battles book it seems to indicate that muiltibarrelled weapons (or
small heavy weapons) are treated as heavy weapon batteries (with multiple
firepower) - whereas all other superheavy weapons are stopped by only one
blast marker.
