Ahh, yes. I see what you mean. Yeah, they were severely wounded. Thanks for letting me know about that rule though, I have been subtracting damage resistance dice.
One other thing to consider is whether or not you're alone or with friends. Being able to hit multiple targets and soften them up for your friends can be quite nice, especially considering how lethal a lot of the weapons are. Shotguns are also much better in small spaces where there are multiple targets.
