Multiple Targets problem

In the Striker miniature game, from which I'm taking most of my weapon data for Traveller, many weapons can shoot at more than one target a turn.  

It is, however, unclear to me whether it is permissible to use the multiple targets to completely mess up a single target.   So, if you have a VRF Gauss gun on your G-carrier, and it has 16 permissible targets, if there's only one guy out there, can you roll to hit him 16 times, or only once, with the rest of the bullets tearing up the ground in front of and behind him?  

It's a hard question to decide.  One the one hand, it's awesome to mess guys up really badly.  On the other, it would definitely be better to give than receive.
