That depends... I have not seen the movie, so....

If you are just trying to keep some heads down, "firing at nothing" or not
at any body specifically does have its uses. One can keep a lot of heads
down that way, it allows your guys to get from point A to point B.
Unobserved movement can change the way an engagement is going quite readily.

But if this guy was really firing at nothing (for no reason), then possibly
the director was trying to put some cinematic effect across, or the
character was panicking/on some kind of chemical product?
