    Being licensed or not has nothing to do with it. Licensed firearms owners use firearms vastly different to how soldiers use weapons.

    Spot on. How many licensed people actively shoot in close proximity to their mates with military spec weapons.

    Hopefully the answer is: 0

    I thought those classes still banned full automatic fire? IE not military spec?

    Can't think of any stages or courses of fire where you have mates firing from a distance with their rounds impacting a couple of meters in front of you while you crawl close enough to post a grenade.

    Shooting in close proximity yes. Shooting full-auto and throwing grenades, no.
