Here is a stupid question...

If two SMs are in overwatch and a GS moves into both their LOS they both have to fire (to check for jams). If the first SM hits and kills the GS, then the 2nd SM fires and rolls a success, would the 2nd SM's bullet travel farther down the corridor and possibly hit another GS or door in the LOS path?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Nope. Overwatch shooting is always at a Genestealer that has just taken an action...even if the first marine kills the stealer with his shot, the 2nd marine is still firing at the same (non-existent) target.
