You can either resolve it like you said (apply the normal rules - with Wide lowering the dodge pool of the target and Narrow staging up the damage), or use the wtf overlapping grenade rules from BOGOTA!

I'll have to look at the overlapping grenade rules. Having seen demonstrations of 30 and 40mm autocannons, it's not just one boom.

Do you guys have some reference pages?

Its in WAR! somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now. Basically, overlapping grenade blasts = OMG PAIN!
Greataxe - Apply directly to source of problem, repeat as needed.

Page 140 of war, I also found out that you can suppress with semi auto weapons, just as I thought you should, though I still think you should use 20 bullets, or up to your magazine capacity. You can be just like Archer now!

Overlapping Grenade Blasts
Occasionally, a gamemaster will have more than one grenade
or other explosive simultaneously a ecting a single target. In these
cases, treat the damage as a single blast with a Damage Values equal
to the sum of the highest Damage Value of one explosion plus half
the DV of the other explosions. Each explosion’s DV should be
modi ed for the distance of each explosion, as if the target was
a ected by the Blast in a Con ned Space rules (p. 156, SR4A).
 e combination of overlapping blasts and con ned quarters is
known as the “puréed salsa e ect.”
The rules for overlapping blast weapons that involve
chemicals with inhalant vectors are slightly different. Rather
than adding together the blasts’ Damage Values, add together
the amount of time the chemical remains in the air.  is does
not apply to chemicals with a contact vector, which have no
appreciable additional e ect when their blasts overlap.
OMGHD, new thought occurred to me, this means that I can now lay suppressive fire with an MGL 6! So, now, semi auto grenade launchers are doom weapons! Thank you WAR, I can't believe I don't have the patients to sit down and read through you!
