This is coming from a non-native English speaker. The enemy wouldn't receive the benefit of cover to its saving throw every time my DJ with this ability shoots, right? Or is it only when rolling a 6+ to wound (which wouldn't make much sense)?

It only ignores cover when you roll a natural 6 to wound. The lack of a comma before the 'and' means it's "Each time a model shoots, an unmodified wound roll of 6 (does X and Y)" not "Each time a model shoots, (an unmodified wound roll of 6 does X), and (do Y).

If it ignored cover on every shot, it would say so before the section about wounding. Also keep in mind this does NOT trigger on a 6+ to wound, only on a natural 6.

All clear now. Thank you very much. Yes, I'm aware it only works on an unmodified wound roll of 6.

I wondered about this too, as a native English speaker. I agree with Bacon that grammatically it seems to apply only a 6. But I've seen tons of people on the internet interpreting it differently, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a FAQ answering at some point, because at a minimum, it's not as clear as it could be.
