I wonder if that's really a problem. It'd certainly make sense if you can't direct general damage to specific components. If you want to avoid that situation though, just have the combat engine apply damage to partially damaged components before it starts damaging other components.

Of course, then it'd have to make sure that rule only applies to components the weapon is supposed to damage...
