also there is a rule which is unnofficially called torrent of fire - if you cause more wounds than there are targets, then you may nominate one enemy model to take a save - but the owning player may choose what the save is taken against - e.g. there is a plasma gun in the unit and the rest are lasguns - then the owning player can choose to take the save against the lasguns rather than the plasma guns

this rule however is not going to be in 5th ed

Weren't we just discussing this drax? lol I have lost many a vet superior because of " torrent of fire ", and it can prove to be quite frustrating!

Its not exactly a done deal because the owner gets to choose the type of save they make and against what weapon, but with a bit of luck and combined with careful manuevring, you could position your more "specialized" weapon squads to be able to see only a few sisters in a squad. Therefore, limiting the amount of targets..
