Corrected entry: It doesn't make sense that Penn would shoot at the black suspension wires to break them off the train. His own men were originally on them to get to Ryback (who was barely hanging on the side of the cliff), and Penn never knew Ryback killed his men or that he was now the one now hanging on the wire.

Correction: Bear in mind that Penn wasn't above killing his own men. He shot the guy who was on fire and later took out the mercenary who felt Penn screwed up. In other words he's determined to see the mission succeed regardless of any collateral. He suspects there are still people on the ropes and by shooting the ropes, he is eliminating the Ryback threat and not wasting time waiting for his own people to return.
