Whats the pros for this?

To me the pros of shooting bodyguards heavily out weigh spawning another set of durdens. 

This seems a little weird ,  do the bodyguards in a sense decide they dont want to be bodyguards and promo themselves to actual durdens? 

I see no benefits from doing this. If you are training a gun then shooting Bodyguards and Durdens is essential,  not one or the other. When they are around you shoot them. Somone shooting is not gonna say "I dont feel like shooting these 2k durds left ill just hit bodyguards for now. "  

Termination, actually they might. Sometimes its more in a persons interest to shoot at BGs than it is to try and shoot at Durdens, especially if they aren't maxed as yet

As someone else mentioned, it all depends on what stage your gun is at really.

As for the ideal itself, I dont feel its needed. The system works as it is right now, no need for any amendments to this. 

Given I dont perk Olivia.  

If person A  rolled 80% Marksmanship , they are better off shooting durdens than bodyguards.  

Im some cases , when the Marksmanship is under 50% ideally you want to use mia or ranges till you are  -20 or so, then start shooting Durdens.  I still dont see how this benefits anyone trying to build a gun.  

Sorry friend but the idea is to actually spawn more durdens, while the game dissolve the remaining bodyguards.

I don't think you know the value of shooting bodyguards. The ability to perk on them is a great advantage.

I know I would rather take a full +1 at a young age rather than maybe .5 or .25 or even a .1

I know I would too. Everyone would. 

If you've been here for 11 years and still think a wound on a durden bodyguard is less than .5, then your leadership has failed you. Your hit squad leader has failed you. 

Similar to if I shoot a Godfather Chairman from my Earner rank, I gain a +1 to my wack stat. There is no difference in reward if your gun is not maxed, or if your gun has 1,000 kills. You shoot a durden bodyguard, you gain .5. Even if its a wound.

Well since you know how it all works and you know for sure, I'll take your 11 experience advice.

Thanks for informing me.

Well I have nearly 15 years experience and I can confirm that MichaelLaMotta is correct in this instance. And since I am more experienced I am right.

Duh.

Sorry, Stranger, but you've clearly not had proper training in the matter :(

seems like some incorrect information being put out here

No, we are not saying that if you shoot any bodyguard and wound it, it's .5

Specifically DURDEN bodyguards will always give you a .5, whether you hit, wound, kill, whatever. Through rigorous testing and collaboration some of us have figured this out. I urge you to test it out sometime.

Next time you start up, pick a roll that gives you roughly 10 kills to max. Only shoot at durden BGs to max. Now, by your number, it would take ~40 hits to max depending on what type of wound. But if you were to try it, it would only take 20.

Ragnarok is trolling :)
