Have you ever been in the service?

It is quite common during training to be issued your M16 at the beginning and have to keep up with it until training ceases. This means you have to 'sleep with your weapon' or the sneaky sergeant takes it away in the middle of your sleep and only returns it after you've performed extra memory-enhancing duties.

I have also been in combat ( where live rounds were actually issued ) and in either case, I don't ever remember hearing any triggers being pulled by waking troops (not even when "stimulated").
