I think it makes sense to target the same unit, but the verbiage in the special rule is very clear on 3 things: - Must fire at the very end of the shooting phase
- Must fire at the closest enemy unit
- All weapons may fire at different units
So, in order for it to have the potential to fire at different units, you either have to: - Measure from each gun and have each gun target separately but shoot at the same time OR
- Fire each weapon one at a time, and measure from the base as per MC rules

For sure, but who the hell really knows? For ease of use and to cut down on ambiguity, personally I'm gonna go with they all fire at the closest target at the same time, until we get an FAQ.
The best part is that it probably won't end up making that much of a difference in the end. Mostly because NIDS SUCK.

For me, since the rule is very specific that the guns CAN shoot at different targets, I'm just going to ask my opponent which of those options he would prefer - measure from the gun, or from the base, firing individually. If we can at least agree on which way to use the rules for our games, it'll be good enough until we get an official FAQ.

Yeah... there are probably 3 reasonable ways to read that rule, at least. I'd say the best we can do for now (within our group) is just take a poll and decide how to handle it.
For tournaments? Talk to the TO, preferably beforehand. Pick-up games? Have a quick chat with your opponent. It shouldn't be a huge issue, as it's a handful of BS2 guns (mind, I'm very happy to put out 15 shots with something that already did its job).
This discussion would be way more valid if Nick would start working on a mold, and Will would help us figure out a way to make it resin-friendly, and then we could actually build a drop-nid army for the apoc game.
Srsly.

I can't mold something I don't have Joel! Plus I only have a handful of molding putty - so I could maybe mold the individual pieces to something like a tyrannocyte, and then we would just have to make copies of them in increments of 5, before remolding the putty for a new mold.
I'm only going to be using 2 or so tyrannocytes, so I'm probably just going to pick up some foam eggs from Michaels, Nid them up nicely, stick on some deathspitters, glue them to a 100mm round base, and call it a day.
