Hang on a tick, unless you're Bean, I don't see how you can read "In these cases, hits are worked out as normal and can hit and wound units out of range and line of sight" to mean "no wounds may be allocated to models that are out of LOS."
The 'normal shooting rules' do not allow you to allocate wounds to models out of LOS, it's really straight forward.
There is no permission like with Barrage.
DV8, are you also of the "we should allow ourselves to interpret GW's rules such that they have no effect at the time they were written" camp?
Thats a RAI agrument,("Thats not what they meant!") that does not hold much weight in a debate. All this does is make it a bit more difficult to wound, balanced against the weaker cover saves.
A 50 IG blob squad can put out a great deal of fire, easily doing dozens of wounds, but if only one model is in LOS thats the only one that we are allowed to allocate wounds to.
All of the others are lost.
It is the way it works in 6th.
In 'normal shooting' if you can't see it, you can't harm it.
