Absolutely. Here is a quick tale for you. We got a new guy in and like all the new guys he was put thru some pre-training to get him comfortable with the weapons he would be using and some of the TTPs. The 180A, who will remain nameless here and is actually a good troop regardless of what follows, was going to give the new guy the quick down and dirty of instinctive shooting. We usually started folks off by having them look at a point on the ground and then look up as they raised their pistol and engage four inch circles to their front using double tap procedures. At the time we were using H&K P7s which has an insidious squeeze cock safety in the pistol grip and in order to fire you have to hold the grip tight to depress the safety. Guys that were comfortable with the pistol instinctively depressed it as the drew it but it was not a good system (which I got rid of shortly). So to make a long story short the 180A trying to be the best he could and impress the new team member got ahead of himself and placed a round directly in front of his foot. That evening in a little gathering we presented him with a boot with an small target extended off the toe so he could "safe face" and explain that that was what he meant to do but the target had fallen off before the demonstation.
