Status: offline 		Think about it. It makes perfect sense: If you were running away from a fight and someone started shooting at you, don't you think you'd "go to ground" (pinned status) or even shoot back (op fire) if you figured, "Oh, well, if I'm going to die, I may as well take some enemies down with me." It's "fight or flight." If I can't run, I fight.

Status: offline 		Okay, well thanks to everyone who responded. I've been playing this game for a long time, way back when you still had to buy it off the shelf. I guess I never noticed it before. Although I do recall reading about that ability in the manual I thought it was a random thing and did not always occur. Thanks again
