Default Rules Question - Repeated items on internal damage cards

On the internal damage cards for large games, some of the cards have a repeated line: e.g. "Weapon Limit 1" followed by another "Weapon Limit 1".

Am I allowed to apply the point of damage from the second line to the same weapon I applied the damage point from the first line to, or do they have to be different weapons if possible?

[There are also cards with repeated "Accessory Limit 1" lines for which the same question arises.]

I would say put it on the same weapon if you feel that's the right course of action. I suspect they didn't make it "weapon limit 2" so that most weapons couldn't be taken out in one big hit (but RIP laser weapons)

You get to choose the affected weapon or accessory.

From Sam:

"You can apply each separate point of damage to the same item if you choose. It's broken out as two lines on the card to make it clear that you are not REQUIRED to apply it to the same thing.

Damage card B2, as a counterexample, has "Weapon — limit 2" on it. You must apply the second point of damage to that same weapon in this case."

Thanks for adding that! We were doing that wrong! When we saw limit 2 on weapons, we just let each damage point go where they wanted.

Does that also mean, if it hits a weapon that can only take one point of damage. The "extra" point is wasted?

I would expect, per normal, that any damage left over from executing a particular line on the internal damage card just flows to the next line, similar to how damage left over from "Opposite Armor - Limit 5" flows down to the next line once the armor is destroyed.

Yeah, damage keeps applying to items in the sequence on the card. If the power plant is reduced to 0, that car is eliminated and out of the game.
