For my 2 cents worth.
there are two things about ME that have always made me a bit buggy well a lot
buggy.

first the rules for hand grenades are ludicrous.  even in the movies the damn
things just aren't that lethal.
second the rules on scoped rifles are desperately wonky.  Scopes are simply not
that effective.  Under the current rules they are nearly omnipotent.
