Dude short of truly retarded intensities radiation doesn't *immediately* do much beside give you what looks like a sunburn. The lethal effects take long enough to show as to be entirely irrelevant in the context of a firefight. Induces all kinds of funny power cascades, memory errors and what have you in electronics OTOH (which is why the military stuff is "hardened" to be more resistant and junk sent up into space is specifically engineered to not get borked by the nasty background levels).

Plus this is four-color superscience physics anyway. The WF world runs on Sufficiently Advanced Technology and idklol variant laws of nature that blatantly don't have too much to do with what we live by.
