On a critical glitch, it blows up in your face.
I'm not very good at math, but it seems to me that if ten soldiers each fired off a hundred rounds in combat in a 24-hr period, you could expect (total guess) 50% of them to be wounded by their own defective gear.Which I'm going to guess is hard on morale, if nothing else. Why would I issue this to my personnel? |
