I assume you mean that because the Blast Marker table is 1 BM for 1-3 SHWs that
1-3 Disrupt weapons can do 1-4 BMs, whereas if the detachment had 4-8 Disrupt
weapons it could do a potential 2-9 BMs (next row on Table) and if a detachment
had 9+ Disrupt weapons it could do 2+9+ = 11+ BMs.

Yes? Is that the point you're making, or am I still missing something.
