	''If you're still nervous about your troops getting shot, put a tank nearby. HWP's draw fire; aliens prefer to shoot at them over troops. As long as the tank is in the aliens' line of sight, and as close or closer than the troops, the aliens will always shoot at it before the troops. When I train, I keep several tanks on hand, replacing damaged ones with fresh units as they get shot. --[[User:Papa Legba\|Papa Legba]] 14:09, 28 Nov 2005 (PST)''		''If you're still nervous about your troops getting shot, put a tank nearby.

			"Another favourite tactic of mine once I have Psi Screening is to put those psi weak recruits to use... as human shields. 10 rookies cost less than 1 tank. And a psi-weak agent can be worse than the aliens getting an extra tank/ terror unit. Disarm, disrobe, and have him kneel one 2 squares away and 3 squares to the left of the doorway. Repeat with another psi-weakling on the right side. Have you GOOD troops stationed further away... Any alien stepping through the door must turn to the left or right in order to spot your troops. Because your good troops are at a 90 degree angle, and your meat shield is at 45 degrees, the alien will spot the weakling first, and will shoot at him, not your good troops. ... While doing this, I found that my weaklings were getting killed more by friendly fire than aliens. ... This is A GOOD THING, since those even a friendly kill reaction shot is still counted as a reaction shot. [[User:Jasonred\|Jasonred]] 09:09, 21 March 2009 (EDT)"

	If fired from some distance from the side of the UFO (e.g. by the blonde soldier in the picture) then even a miss is likely to strike the wall of the UFO and do some damage. Firing from above ground level - either with a flying suit or from the roof of a conveniently placed building - is also very likely to hit something close to the target. It is definitely not recommended when using two groups of shooters facing each other, and care must be taken to ensure that all soldiers are safely outside the blast radius.
