What is your fixation with "hardware designed for military use"?

Does something designed for civilian use hurt less if it hits you
than something designed for military use?

I believe, that if the hardware had been designed for civil use,
safeguards would have been designed in.

Safeguards such as what?

Don't bother to mention R/C models that stall themselves when control
is lost as that only exists to help recove the thing and not all of them
do that.

In a war theater there is no
need for those sorts of safeguards, so training operations employing
hardware not designed for civil operation is inappropriate.

So there should be training bombers and war bombers, training tanks
and war tanks, training rifles and war rifles, training Humvees and
war Humvees...
