Two weapons, same target, do the shots happen at the same time?

The issue isn't about the word different; just whether or not the shots are simultaneous. According to the rulebook (on page 12 in the lower left corner box), you must nominate which unit or units you are shooting before rolling any dice. So the answer is no, you may not shoot the FMC and then see if it is grounded or not before shooting again.

Edit: I completely misunderstood the question. Sorry! I thought he meant that he would decide to shoot at a different unit! Not the same one! I'm not sure about using the full BS in that case! My bad!

Nukes4You,

Shooting attacks are a cascading sequence that requires the previous step to be resolved first to function. Targeting is part of Step 1, I think, so any Targeting which occurs must be done at this Step before we move on the next. The cascading effect prevents a player from simply returning to a previous step in order to resolve the entire sequence from that point forward again without being given precise instructions/permissions to do so. From my understanding of the Rules as Written, without precise instructions to do otherwise, one would be forced to resolve all of Step 1 before moving on.

I agree with this bit! That is what I was attempting to say, yet you put it into words in a much more concise and understandable manner. Thanks!
