No, I think that kind of behaviour would cause cognitive dissonance by people pretending to believe in something that they know they do not believe. The resulting mental contradiction and inner distrust would IMO impair reaction time and judgement, resulting in sub-optimal performance in the field.

I'm betting you've never even seen a real weapon and if somebody showed you one you'd piss yourself and faint in fear. You just keep on with your online, imitation bad-assery. The real world's probably way too scary for you anyway.
If you google "bible bullet" you'll see pics of bibles that stopped bullets..
