Don't buy DMZ :) You could try downloading the faster, card-based combat
system I sent out to some people once (it's on Paolo's page), though mind
you it's far from the complete version. (Quick plug: I'm starting to think
about trying to sell that thing when (if) it ever gets finished :) Not that
I expect to make money off it or anything... :)

Anyway, there isn't really a way to do such things in SR IMHO, apart from
simply not rolling for initiative for the people who aren't shooting at the
runners. Just go "And now one of the guys over there shoots one of the
brawlers in a long burst of automatic fire!"
