Savage Worlds Deadlands Macro Question

Hey guys, sorry if this is a bit basic, but I'm running into a wall here of my own ignorance. I'm in a Deadlands game and I'm trying to build a macro for Fanning the Hammer, since I figure I'll be doing it sometime soon. I've figured out how to pull up a dialogue box so I can fill in how many shots I want to take, but I'm running into a problem where I want to separate the dice out into individual rolls, each with the -4 penalty, and I'm not sure how to work it.  /roll ?{Number of Shots|1}d8!-4 combines all the d8s into a single number. What I'm wanting to do is have it ask me how many shots I want to take, then roll that number of dice individually, each with the -4 penalty. I figure that I can just change the macro to d10 and above and add another question for further modifiers afterward.  Can anyone help me out?
How about this? /r ?{Number of Shots|1}d8! - 4 * ?{Number of Shots}
Alternatively you could use a Dropdown Query to define the macro to be used for x number of shots.  That'll give you a drop-down list where you select how many shots you want to fire and use the appropriate inline roll for that many shots. ?{How Many Shots? |One, [[1d8-4]] |Two, [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] |Three, [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] |Four, [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] |Five, [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] |Six, [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] • [[1d8-4]] } [EDIT]: Fixed missing brace
That second one seemed to do it. There was a minor error with one of the closing brackets, but once I fixed it, it works like a charm. Thanks a ton, guys.

Don't forget to have a single d6 roll as well for your Wild Die. :)
I've already added that in. I might add another thing for the shooting modifier and such.
