I have just come out of a match where I was basically cored before I even made first contact with the enemy. Another match, I had to threaten ~my own teammate~ with my medium lasers brushing his cockpit, so he would stop shooting me in the back.

Listen... if you are a new player, there are really only two rules you need to pay close attention to:

1 - Follow your team.
2 - Shoot where they shoot.

It's pretty simple, but it gets easier. 'Accidentally hitting' your own teammate with 3 LLasers or your shiny new Gauss rifle is not funny... never will be funny and is detrimental to your team.

Also a side note - the testing grounds are the place to test your weapons. Only fire them at an enemy.

The ground is not your enemy. The rocks are not your enemy. The wall is not your enemy, nor are the dead robots on Tourmaline. Your teammates are not your enemy. There is a neat little thing called the TESTING GROUNDS where you can go and shoot to your hearts content at things that do not shoot back.

My Rear CT thanks you.

But how can you be sure if the local atmosphere or other conditions aren't affecting your weapons?

Sure there is the testing grounds, but i find it much more amusing to watch people like you rage.

IF they shoot you, how do you know they are not a spy? Or a clan member in disguise?

As soon as they hit you it becomes a battle to the death.

New players need to start off at ELO rating ZERO (or so. lol). And be awarded for accuracy.

Shootine my team "accidentally" is one of my favorite things to do. Most of the time they don't even know it was me. :)

Sometimes it's funny. Depends how well you know who you're shooting at.

shoot off all of their parts so they are easy prey and then move on...no need to TK. Just leave them cored and droopy looking. They'll learn eventually or quit playing. Either is fine.
