Actually infantry tactics would disagree. Though not directly transferable, the concept may applicable. When you start taking direct fire (ambush, sniper, assualt) your squad/team drops and starts popping of 3rd bursts aiming at whatever you can see. You lay a huge base of fire and then after 30-40 rds you click to single shot and point fire once its suppressed. As long as it is reasonably safe to do so...firing at some while running is fairly tactical.flintknapper wrote:When you say "people don't practice running away and shooting behind them", I take this to mean retreating (controlled) and possibly shooting as well. To literally "run" and hit your intended target is difficult, but I don't really know what they're teaching these days. For me, when its time to "run" I RUN! When I get to where I need to be, then its time to shoot.
Unless you're my best friend that was in Iraq for year (stood and fired back into direct fire recieved on cover-less bridge)...you (or a BG) will hit the ground when the firing starts...or also seek cover.
Am I on the right track Chris??
