Compare totals, not dice. A Gunner (Combat 2d6) shoots a Brute (Defense 2d8) with a Pistol (d4). The Gunner rolls 6 and 6: 12. The Brute rolls 2 and 2: 4. Twelve is three times four: the shot does the maximum, 4 damage, and you roll the Critical table. Swap the rolls and the Brute triples the Gunner: roll the Ranged Fumble table. At a total of 16 it would be quadruple: the critical table roll gets +1.
