A note on "Friendly Fire":
the phenomena of "friendly fire" (weapons
damaging one's own teammates) has been circumvented
in the 22nd century, by the use of nano-triggers
and nano-weaponry. Currently the term "FriendlyFire"
refers to this system. Shrapnel, bullets, and
blast particles are split-second destabilized
before striking any Frontiersmen, fragmenting
harmlessly against their armor. In rare cases
nano-gridlock
has been known to interfere with this protection
for the duration of a battle. Another strange
gap in the FriendlyFire system: a fired weapon
still injures the person who activated it. This
is only a danger with grenades
and mines
but is very important to note.
