You can join randoms in the firing range

I mean, this has happened randomly off and on for as long as I've played, not that it's happened to me.  I remember seeing a video from a guy who has queued for trios on KC, and instead got loaded into the range with a random player.

There has been all sorts of weird behavior in the firing range this season.  Looking at the banners, i was sharing my range with no fewer than three lvl1 default skin Cryptos today.  One time, it showed my banner alongside one of theirs as if we had joined the range together.  Since they were all lvl1, I did some stuff to mess with them, like calling in a bunch of LL care packages.  Was hoping for a respawn beacon to call in, but I didn't get one.
