In short, it makes something extremely unpredictable even more so and involves the possibility of non-combatants which forces someone (with a moral/ethical code) to analyze their target before firing and can also cause distractions (noise, movement) that can cost you valuable time or even your life.
Close Quarter Combat (CQC), specifically breaching and HVT extraction, are almost always handled by elite tactical units who train extensively on how to safely and swiftly execute a CQC situation.
The SEALs will literally kick you off the squad if you fuck up more than one or two times *in training* because they know that might cost them their lives in the real world. Tbh, you won’t even get invited to join a SEAL team until they have seen you in action and know you mesh well with the squad, from what I’ve read.
