The scouts have guns, but they are a variant of civilians, so can you shoot them?

They are not a variant of civilian, they are an entirely different class that use the same space in the menu, that's all.

In development, we called the kit the "BOGI" kit: Bend Over, GI.

Course you can, but the cops wouldn't be too impressed.

Isn't it kinda obvious though?

obviously not :P

from the manual:

The civilian Collaborator is unarmed. His only way to attack others is by
throwing rocks at them. He can drop a few field dressings for his friends
and repair vehicles with his wrench. He can also help others access high
places with his grappling hook. He can use his cellphone to call in mortar
strikes. Coalition players must not shoot civilians or face punishment
(See „The Civilian“ for details)

On some maps the Collaborator kit is replaced by the Scout. He uses an
SKS rifle, a wrench, a pair of binoculars, a grappling hook, a shovel as
well as 6 field dressings.

i thought that instead of the civilian kit in some maps, a scout (aka a civilian with a gun) was in place. the scout still have the wrench, grappling hook, shovel and field dressings, which all help the other players more than themselves. plus with all the insurgency possible roles i wouldnt be suprised if somehow in this game they made a civilian have a gun.

yep

No you can't, if you're a civilian and pick up any kit you will bend over and instantly give birth. (but i guess that was hardcoded, so now they make you die instead).

One point of order on civies....you can "arrest them" if you shoot them with the shotgun in the engy kit.

Yup. You get zip-ties to use instead. Just don't expect any miracles.

I don't think arresting civilian with the same shotgun you use for door breaching is a good idea. It sound really dangerous if you ask me :p

Can you shoot scouts? Yes they are a non civilian class (replaces the civilian on some maps).
