Maybe they'll come out just for me at noon if I ask nicely.;-) And yes, they do fire directly at the building with blank charges. Of course, there are buildings on all sides so they have to aim it at something. The building in the pic is the barracks, so maybe they're less likely to shoot their own rooms. VMI would make them sleep on the ground until it was fixed.
