Keith, please put your replies underneath the messages you quote, and
delete the irrelevant parts of the quoted text, as I've done here. Thanks.

Now on to my actual reply...

You can "split" a FA burst among multiple targets, as explained in SR3 on
page 116. This essentially counts as a series of separate bursts, with a
+2 TN modifier per new target. You must also "waste" one round per meter
distance between targets.

So, if you're confronted by three thugs, you could fire 3 rounds at each
of them (assuming they're close enough together), or three rounds at #1,
six rounds at #2, and one round at #3, or any other combination you want
to. You're not limited to three-round bursts at all in this kind of
situation.
