this happened at one of our games which resulted in a pointblank BB lip...gorey i know.
person A is shooting behind cover, ducks back.
person B on opposite team from person A runs up adjacent to person A and hides behind the same cover on opposite side.
person A and person B both unveil themselves at the same time, person A being spooked unloads BB death on person B.
Person A is at fault IMO, BUT! There could have been a different outcome if person B used more of their perception to judge..hey, theres someone there, let's NOT put my face 4 inches infront of his sights and give him a heart attack
here is a movie i have uploaded to my dinky FTP to give u a look at what i mean...
(this is a short clip someone took(think it was dman) in the 'city' at our panther field. - it could have been gruesome if the guy didnt turn around and look teh other way)

This is a prime example of why you should never have your finger resting on your trigger, Period. Your index should always be on the side so you can process maybe a few thoughts through your brain before you start shooting. I think that should be a rule, because I must say, I have NEVER been hit by blind fire, BUT I have been hit in the face neck ears hands you name it from players that get scared and let off 30 rounds at 10 feet. Having a rule like this would also save a lot of friendly fire aswell, think about it.
EDIT: Also, there is a fine line between concern for safety, and complaining
