You're comment about shooting towards them causes me thought Scythe 13.
Shooting to warn does nothing except make them aware of what you've got.
It also tells them two things.
1. You're probably a bad shot
2. You don't want to shoot them.
You shoot to miss and even the most half ars@d inexperienced person will retreat to cover and engage you if they are armed.
Shoot to wound?
What if they go down.
What's your plan then?
Sit and let them die or take them in and care for them?
What if they are contaminated?
Half measures will get you and your own killed my friend.
