Can downed incapacitated players be damaged?

[Beans]

If an enemy is shot and goes down into their incapacitated bleeding state can you fire on their 'body' to prevent a medic from reviving them?

 

If so is there a guideline for how much damage a downed player can take before becoming totally dead?

[Smee]

Don't take any in incapacitated state. Once revived any hit and you and instant death. (Lasts 1 min)

No, and it's not planned in the future for gameplay reasons.

What are the 'gameplay reasons?'

I imagine the gameplay reason is that almost no one would be available for medics to get back up. Everyone would shoot bodies all the time and the medic system would be basically pointless.

The devs were involved in a discussion just like this last year during Pre-Alpha, not only is it unrealistic since it's against the Geneva Conventions, it would nearly negate the entire purpose of a medic. People who get downed would instantly get shot again, people who haven't been shot yet would assume that they were going to be shot and give up... ect, ect.

Negates the role of medics and incredibly disruptive of team play. Respawns are already utilized way too much.

This is fair, it wouldn't be as fun without medics that's for sure.
