🔫 Shooting Discipline

Before you fire a shot in SPECTRE Task Force, you need to understand two things:

1. How to handle your weapon safely
2. When you’re actually allowed to shoot

This guide covers both, giving you the fundamentals of responsible, effective engagement in any scenario — from stealth operations to full-contact assaults.

✅ Safety First

Weapon safety is everyone’s responsibility. Violating it not only risks lives — it undermines the team.

Golden Rules:

• Never point your weapon at a teammate — even accidentally
• Use Low Ready when near friendlies
• Always control your muzzle before moving
• Friendly fire is not “just a mistake” — it’s a failure in discipline

🔻 Ready Positions

Your posture communicates intent — keep it controlled.

🧠 Earning the Shot

You don’t shoot because you want to. You shoot because:

• You have clear Positive ID of a hostile
• You have a clean shot (no friendlies or civilians in the way)
• You’re authorized to fire — by ROE or leadership

If it’s not safe, it’s not your shot — even if the target is hostile.

🚦 Rules of Engagement (ROE)

ROE defines when you can shoot. It may change based on the mission or current situation.

Default ROE is Weapons Tight — no PID, no shot.

🕵️ Positive Identification (PID)

Before engaging a target, confirm:

• They’re armed and hostile
• Their behavior indicates threat (e.g., aiming at friendlies)
• You’ve received confirmation from leadership

Do not shoot:

• Unarmed contacts unless they show clear hostility
• Surrendering or captured individuals (treat as POWs)

🚨 Emergency Calls

If something goes wrong, call it out immediately:

• “Negligent discharge!” — You fired by mistake
• “Bad frag!” — Grenade landed dangerously
• “Misthrow! Clear out!” — Explosive mishandled

Own it, communicate it, reset safety.

🔼 Fire with Formation

When engaging as a team:

• Try to be on-line — side-by-side with teammates
• Keep 1 meter of space between players
• If you’re stacked, use MBF: Muzzle Before Flesh

MBF = Your barrel must be clear of your teammate before you fire.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Firing without PID or ROE clearance
• Flagging teammates while moving or turning
• Not calling out safety incidents
• Shooting too early or too late due to panic

✅ Summary

• Weapon safety is your responsibility — no excuses
• Know your ROE before the mission begins
• Only fire when it’s safe, legal, and tactically sound
• Use Low Ready and MBF in tight spaces
• Report mistakes immediately and professionally
