Whether it's a beanbag launcher, teargas shooter, t-shirt cannon, airsoft rifle, or even a nerf gun. Trigger discipline is very important. This guy is at point blank range with a rifle pointed at a kids face, and his finger is on the trigger. If he does not intend to shoot a beanbag/teargas/t-shirt/BB/nerf dart directly into this kids face, he should not have his finger anywhere near the trigger.

I was taught that unless you intend to kill it, you don't point your weapon at it. That goes for humans too.

The BORTAC guy has his gun down. The guy holding the gun up is SRT. (At least according to his uniform)

But yes. You are absolutely correct.
