...but, well... as our marketting people put it (most of them former
armour soldiers, BTW): 

"If there are two modes of operation, there's a 50% chance the soldier
will pick the wrong one in the heat of battle. Murphy will ensure that
this 50% chance happens every time the weapon fires" <g>

'Course, highly-trained soldiers have a better chance to avoid Murphy -
but poorly-trained ones (definitely Yellow, and probably Green as well)
have a pretty good chance of picking the wrong option.
