I could be just being too literal, I guess (I do that sometimes), but
"hits" to me might indicate either: any succesful roll with a weapon, or a
hit in the sense of firepower hits; that is, a hit that removes the unit
unless it saves. Disrupt weapons would not score hits in this second sense,
so if 1-3 of them were firing, they might only place as many disrupt
counters as they rolled 4,5, or 6's.

I did not mean to imply that it was unclear whether disrupt weapons use the
superheavy weapon chart for blast markers; I'm just not totally sure
whether, if a single disrupt weapon succeeds in it's roll, one blast marker
or two blast markers are placed (one from the weapon, and possibly one for
scoring a hit as according to the SHW blast marker table).
