Only the one combat. Indirect Fire is mostly useful for mid-level
Runners - Thrash often gets the FN HAR.

Youbetcha. It seems that even though they're scum, they know some good
streetdocs.

Quite a few cards, actually; Blazing Guns, for instance, trashes a
pistol after increasing its damage; the Security Rigger trashes drones
(iirc) and Astral Barrier trashes spirits. Any two Runners can also
turn to trade gear between themselves; cyberware, however, cannot be
traded this way.

It's included. FASA mentioned this in a post -- Loki'll clip it out and
post it, I'm sure.

You got me here. I say the two cancel each other out and regular
sleazing takes place.
