So my latest recruit had a melee of 9 and shooting of 3, but because of the way I set up my defenses, melee is essentially useless so I gave him a rocket launcher figuring that he couldnt really miss with that. about a week ingame after recruiting him I get the "Alpha Beavers" scenario. I immediately set all beavers to be hunted and all colonists to prioritize hunting. This dumbass walks up to 3 beavers and at point blank fires the rocket launcher. Not only does he kill all the beavers, but he destroys all the trees around them, starts a huge fire destroying more trees (-.-), destroys the rocket launcher (I didnt know you could do that), and gets launched like 12 squares backwards. He somehow manages to survive without losing any limbs (although they are all shredded) and is completely healed after a single night in the medical wing. I very quickly changed his priorities to crafting...
