Kinda.
BlackBook, P.111"What happends when the total number of boxes filled in within
a column (Physical or Stun) exceeds 10? If the damage is Stun, it then carries
over into the physical column. That is, a character who has already taken a
Serious Stun wound (6 boxes) takes another Serious Stun hit. Serious does 6
boxes, so the last 4 boxes in the Stun column would be filled in, and the
remaining 2 boxes would be filled in on the Physical column"

Sorry, Nightfox, but your example is in error

14-1 successes on a StrM(stun) M==S==D==D+many.
Under SRII, the most that you can do in one shot is 10 boxes. So your ganger
is unconscious, and will feel like hell when he wakes up. If CRUSH is feeling
extra vindictive, then he will pound on the ganger until he has a Serious Wound.

Rev you are right, but I think it would be neat for each final success beyond
deadly to do one box of physical damage per extra sucess. That isn't anything
major, but it does reflect the trauma that the poor fellow in undergoing.

Again - this is another personal thing - there is no right or wrong involved,
unless we are talking official or unofficial, in which case the toned down
suggestion I offer is in the wrong. =)
