I think Cougar his point is that BPT are not really supposed to fire off a shot... they're there for recon, comms and intel

A hard mission for BPT should be running out of tea and digestive biscuits lying immobile under a mud and grass clot covered tarpaulin with muddy rain dripping down your neck and a centipede trying to make friends with your nostril

However I don't have any issue with what you did - as you said, server was empty.
It's when there are struggling 6 and 5 man Sections out there trying to work to Section fire drills and then "BPT" shoot off to do their own Rambo'ing elsewhere that it's disruptive.
Sounds like it would have made some uber footage - did you get Video ?
