Well, it isn't exactly that. It doubles a single disrupt weapon, but it
really just adds one. With 1 disrupt, you get 0 or 2 BMs. With 2, you get
0, 2, or 3 BMs. With 3, you get 1, 2, 3, or 4.

I suppose that if you fired each disrupt weapon at a separate target, you
might get a chance to put a bigger total number of blast markers out. On
the other hand, you'd probably fail to put any on some, and the smaller
number of BMs per target would be more likely to go away in the Rally phase.
