I think what Gurth meant (I haven't seen Sneakers so I'm just guessing)
was that in most Shadowruns, you shoot only if you have to, and Sneakers
was an example of pulling a run without shooting anybody or an example of
pulling a run where if you shoot anybody, the run is fragged to hell and
back ... besides there are all kinds of runs ... perhaps you are paid to
create a violent disturbance somewhere (most likely as a distraction to
cover for another Shadowrunner team) ... extractions tend to have
shooting depending on the security ... remember shooting doesn't
neccissarily mean death (I like to use Narcojet ... I wish Gel rounds
were nastier against Armored opponents)
