Hi Julian,
Well, ok I guess.
The foot shooting possibility has been there for ages now, and hasn't
been an actual problem in the wild. Doing it in fewer characters
shouldn't totally alter the calculus. As with all foot shotguns, the
user needs to operate with care (scaryish doc wording can also help).
Best wishes,
Mike
