... Do they really stop firing when the ducks swing toward shore?
I would say yes. One of the first things you get taught in firearm safety
class (which is mandatory in New York for all first-time hunting licenses) is
to always be aware of where your muzzle is pointing. Always. Most people
hunting with a partner are pretty aware of where their partner's gun is
pointing, too. Obviously some people are going to be better at being cautious
and not careless than others, but that line between safe/not safe is probably
more distinct for a gunner than you might think.
