Duhhhh.....That’s the whole point that seems to have escaped you and some others here. “No shoot” silhouettes are meant to be interspersed on the range with targets meant to be engaged.
The ‘scoring ring’ feature is MEANT to help strongly induce the “shoot it” response as a first instinct. The shooters being trained are meant to learn NOT to engage a potential target until they’ve affirmatively determined that it really should be engaged—that is, until they’ve observed (and not just “felt”) that it was ARMED and was not a friendly.
One of the best ways of having trainees learn (and “internalize”) this lesson is to put them in situations where they are “tempted” to make hypothetical fatal mistakes on the range such as shooting unarmed civilians. Nothing like seeing a trainee’s face once they’ve learned they just shot an “innocent”—and nothing like it for driving home the point to that trainees.
By the way, since you thought that the unarmed silhouette was a legitimate target because it wore a hoody with a “scoring ring”, you’ve made a rookie mistake and failed your test. I hope you’ve learned your lesson.
And if you were simply being sarcastic with your post, then I apologize for the “lecture”. Anyhow, train well, train realistically and train ofter folks—just save some of your ammunition for the real thing.
