Sprays follow normal targeting rules.
Spray attacks ignore concealment, cover, stealth and intervening models.
Target and attacks are not the same.
If enemy models were in a perfect line and i could only see the 1st model, i could only target the 1st model.
BUT, i would get attack rolls on the 1st model and all models behind the 1st up to my range. (assuming no LOS blocking terrain)
Some folks think they can target a model other that the 1st because of the wording.
Please clarify, PP
Thank you

Your interpretation is spot-on and 100% correct. 
You target one model, but any model under the line – as long as the attacker’s LOS is not blocked by terrain – is potentially hit by the spray, and you roll to hit each model individually.
This matters because, for example, the second model in the line might have a rule that says “Cannot be targeted by ranged attacks.” Targeting a different model, but catching the “cannot be targeted” model in the spray, would allow you to cleverly circumvent that rule.
I hope this helps!

Yep. It’s been this way for as long as I can recall, so for several editions.
