When I was in the Army, I was taught that you're not supposed to use WP on personnel, but you could on equipment. Technically WP is against the Hague Conventions on war if used on people, just like other incendiary devices.

Just like we can not use the ma-duece on personnel only equipment. That is why you always aim at the rifle they are carrying.
