Wouldn't it be nice if the target dummy did something (instead of just be a decorative statue) like give us feedback on how much damage a certain weapon does? (at a certain tier?)  

It would be nice for there to be some reason to use the dummies. In addition to weapon damage feedback, I wouldn’t mind if there was like a fourth tier to weapon mutations only allowable by interacting with the dummies with that particular weapon. 

There’s a part of me that feels like it should be a truly tedious amount of interactions, something most players would not attempt to do in one go and instead would just put in some training time when they’re back at base at night and eventually unlock.
