Lessons one learn from war.
First Rule of Survival. Always take cover. There is never enough of taking cover.
Whenever you have to take cover, you always have to squeeze into a very small and uncomfortably tight bracket.
When under heavy fire in cover, you will inevitably get hit on the arms (deltoids) and they are often glancing hits.
On occasions, you will get hit in the face, because you only reveal the face for the briefest of moments to aim and fire at your enemy.
You will rarely get hit in the chest... but when you get shot in the back, it almost always hits your torso.
If you're ambushed in a standing upright position, expect to be riddles with bullets... and several of which will definitely hit your head and torso. An ambush will almost always kill someone in the squad without fail... but without drawing fire, you do not know where the enemy is.
Wear a very loose fitting jungle hat. It might just save your life because the enemy may aim for it and end up shooting it off instead of taking half your skull with it.
The purpose of camouflage clothing, is to make it difficult for the enemy to spot you when you're not moving or firing and you've got your gun pointed at them. Once you start firing (or the enemy), all hell breaks loose and communication is non-existent.
Even if you don't know where the enemy is, keep spraying in the correct general direction. He might think you know where he is.
When you pull the trigger, don't let up. Keep firing a short burst every few seconds. Once you let up, it is your turn to take cover while your enemy gets up and politely returns the favour.
If he doesn't let up, you're quite FUBARed.
There's a big irony in maintaining a high rate of fire and conserving ammunition. When you shoot rapidly, you save your life in the short run by not allowing him to pop up to return fire... but you run out of ammo rapidly and "lose" your life in the long run.
