No. "Friendly fire" is when you accidentally get shot by someone whe is supposed to be on your own side. Generally this is *not* used in cases of mistaken identity (i.e. where you meant to shoot the person because you thought they were the enemy), but in cases where you missed the enemy and hit a friend, or where an area of effect weapon took out some friendly troops as well. It should be noted that I am not a military strategist, but I play one on PC. -Robin -- Me: http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin.
