Take an example where the IG troopers are 45cm away, and the
Ogryns are 40cm away, and I have 45cm guns. I shoot a bunch of times,
and roll some 3s, and 5s, and nothing else miraculously (and there is
no cover). I can allocate the 3s to the nearest opponent in range
that has a 3+ armor or worse (the Heavies) After all that is
completed, I can allocate the 5s to the nearest opponent in range that
has a 5+ armor or worse (The Ogryns, and once all the Ogryns are dead,
any remaining Heavies). That's what my argument is based on.

that's why you take a few units of
screening troops you don't care about
the old ork taktik of using hordes of
gretchin to soak up incoming fire
use rhinos ( once they've got you into position)
for eg in front of these two
troop types and they'll eat up most of the serious
dice before you can start affecting the big boys
OTOH
when you take hits
you take BMs ....
