Those people guarding the outposts that they had killed earlier had only wielded ordinary rifles. Compared to the M4, the rifles were many levels lower.
Pigeon took the guns and asked the engineer beside him, "Have you held an M4 before? Do you want to take one for self-defense?"
It was not Pigeon's fault for asking this question. The engineers were different from the soldiers in the field army. Although they had dealt with targets before, they focused on engineering. It was normal that they had not wielded M4s before.
"Even if you haven't held it before, you have to take it now. The principles are the same. Although you won't know much if you take it now…" The engineer took the M4 from Pigeon. "It's important to protect yourself first. The trigger won't be pulled so easily either."
If the guy did not know how to use it and still fired, it would be easy for him to accidentally injure his own people. However, he could still use it to defend himself.
