We do two or three on one training sometimes, but it's all pretty much the same when you're facing multiple opponents - you guide whoever reaches you first into interfering with the second attack, and guide one of those two into interfering with the third attack (at most two attacks will be happening simultaneously, but in my experience, people really do tend to naturally wait their turn unless they have an overwhelming numbers advantage, but my sensei would say not to get in that position in the first place).
My theory on the whole shooting above the head thing in laster tag is that a) the detectors are set to a certain radius and shape the older players know or b) all the fog in your typical laser tag place disperses the beam and allows you to hit even when you don't aim properly. I'm often frustrated by laser tag places as well. Especially if you run into an annoying person who decides to grab a nice spot and play sniper (there's always one person who knows the course really well). I'm actually an excellent shot so I tend to get in a lot of hits, but I also get hit a lot as well since I get bored staying in one place with my back to the wall. If it's any consolation, my tactical ability does seem to have gone up over the years. I placed 2nd place overall last time I did laser tag, and that was just by applying some basic buyu strategy (staying low was the key).
*hugs* I like getting lots of comments at once, so no worries. I'm sorry for your loss. *hugs again*
