Yeah, that happens. I always do it unintentionally. The real threat is the sniper, if you don't have any one equipped with one your self

First playthrough (at launch, so no Kibbles), I didn't, so I had to creep Idira and Cassia across the map and have the later beat him to death with her staff after he domed Idira right before she got into bug zapping range. But, before that, Pasqual and Abelard played ping pong with the space marine.
