Something didn’t copy correctly. The intended point was that the % of American troops in WW1, 2 and Korea who actually aimed at enemy soldiers and blew them away was very low. The VN-era reactive humanoid reactive targets were meant to improve that % buy conditioning a response. Round bullseye targets of previous wars didn’t do that.

I did the pop ups but the gooks didn’t pop up and the doctrine was lay down a base of fire and then maneuver.

One of the problems was the Troops tended to shoot over a gook in a spider hole when moving which led to spray and pray. Aim low and walk your rounds in.
