What do you think the command would have been, then?
There are so many people in the fediverse who are just typing words because they like to see their name on a screen.
Can confirm, sigh.. but at what cost.
Fire! Wait-
Why would you think there'd be a command at all, other than "when they are in range, kill them"? Why would you wait till people are closer when you start shooting them when you can shoot them when they are further away just fine. It's not like someone would say "oh fuck these dudes in the front got taken out by archers, time to take out my shield". They'd just walk with their shield out already. They'd use siege engines to hide from the arrows. They'd have barricades to hide behind. You wouldn't simply go for the Futurama killbot limit, why would you give your opponent more time to walk towards you
They're not aiming at individual targets. They're shooting volleys. That would require coordination.
If you can't come up with any answers to those questions on your own then I don't think it's worth my time responding to this.
