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

    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.
