But depending on direction your fired ammo can fall on someone else on your side and now not only are you dead but you killed someone else via friendly fire.
You have to be extraordinarily unlucky to be hit by a wild shot at range. Unless there's someone right behind the drone it's not going to matter.
Well if I was forced to fight like these poor bastards likely where then I doubt that would be a concern.
Also you are very much underestimating the ballistic properties of those rifles. At such an angle those rounds are not landing within a km of this fight.
Russians don't care much about friendly fire.
