I disagree. If this is the case, then a single BM halves the effective fire
of a unit of Land Raiders, as usually, they aren't concentrating a lot of
fire. It also halves the fp of an all shw titan if it wants to fire at more
than one target. At 2 BMs it can only fire at one target.

I think that BMs are subtracted after the weapon assignments from where ever
you want. So a unit of 10 LRs w/ 5 BMs would have 15 effective shots to
direct wherever, and 20 to direct for suppression purposes.
