Yeah that's what I got out of the original question as well.

My team's been thinking about doing such a think. One of our reasons for considering it was the fact that since you only have 3 shots, you want all of them to be guaranteed, it's not like Aim High where you had the luxury of missing a few. This game's gonna require much more accuracy. So by planting yourself with such a mechanism, you'd guarantee a good positioning for firing, and when you're empty you (for lack of a better term) un-siege your bot and go get more ammo.
