 As the last remaining heretic, I'll run up a white flag on this one and
agree, that disrupt weapons do place blast markers normally and then
place additional BMs according to their special ability. It seems like
double recovery to me, but on reflection I cannot find anything that
negatives this interpretation in the rulebook. Of course ""any other
blast markers" might mean BMs placed by the rest of the detachment due
to a "normal" firepower attack.
