Sometimes AI won't shoot when you use this command. It can be fixed by placing selectWeapon command before it.

In OFP v1.96, satchels and mines are placed by firing the weapon "put".

In OFP v1.96, when a man class unit is given this command, he will aim up in the air before firing his weapon. This makes it rather useless if you want to make him shoot a target. It does work with vehicles, when the vehicle is first given a doWatch or doTarget command.

In ArmA v1.02, this command is not working with weapons in the secondary turrets (like "DSHKM" in t72)
