Question 7

Laser rule

Answer 7

Something around that if there was a laser on the muzzle of the weapon, where ever the weapon was pointed the laser would identify that if a shot was fired it would hit that point, treat any weapon you handle like a laser gun with a beam that is always on.

Whatever the beam touches it cuts through. Develop your muzzle consciousness. Just another way of saying point your weapon in a safe direction at all times.
