The first gun they'll give me I'll aim at myself and be done with it.

You can aim it at your commanding officer first!

Throwing a grenade in a CO's tent is a tradition from Vietnam, and I'm hoping it makes a come back.

Turkish firearms have a protection on the trigger to prevent you from committing die

Interesting, how would that work? An extra trigger you need to press before it fires which you can't reach? That would seem like a hassle on the battlefield, if that safety would make it even the tiniest bit more difficult to fire when an enemy approaches.

It's this triangle beyond the trigger that prevents you from accessing it if you're facing down the barrel
