Concussion if AT Weapons fired inside

[BetterDeadThanRed]

Devs tried to do something like that but with mixed results if I recall correctly. I don't think their aim was to kill everyone inside a room, just the backblast would shove some of the people around them.

yeah it's one of the most important things missing from the AT weaponry atm. need to figure out a way to do it. afaik the backblast on RPGs and AT4s is particularly bad.. like 30m or something.

[Mongolian_dude]

Some kind of claymore radius effect sent backwards, but smaller?
Or an impossible coding task?


...mongol...

Isn't there already a backblast for people standing behind AT?

[Bob_Marley]

I swear I TK'ed a medic with the back blast off a SMAW or RPG in 0.4, but I think that it comming up in a game was so random and so rare that they removed the possiblity of it in 0.5...

Has there ever been any evidence of a backblast killing a bystander, or someone launching the weapon inside, being killed?

The only instance I know of is a SF operator who got knocked off his feet from an RPG backblast. Didn't hurt him, just made him a bit dizzy.

the blast from the at-4 is basically an overpressure blast that f&cks you up really bad, it blows your eardrums, and fills your lungs with blood. it does kill.

I swear its a future weapons

AT-4 CS is certainly in use. Has been for a while. But you still couldn't fire from a crowded room. There's a newer weapon that uses plastic chunks. As long as 4 feet behind the operator is clear, you can fire it. There's a German and a Singaporean version out so far IIRC.

I was killed by the backblast of an Eryx back in .4 when I was trying to heal somebody.

shoot and AT indoors and u die.

[sekiryu]

Proof?

[Outlawz7]

I never fired AT4 from inside,the only AT weapon, I wanted to shoot out of a window, was the RPG, but I was scared, it was gonna blow up into my face, as RPG accuracy does

[Semi]

Proof?

Ehm. Stand behind an anti-tank system and you'll get burned badly, this is pretty much the first thing you learn when training with these systems.

Shooting an at indoors without any "soft-launch" feature is not even recommended at all, I believe you need atleast 10 meters of clearance behind the user to eliminate any risk, in other words you would rarely be able to utilize them in a indoor scenario.

[El_Vikingo]

Ever been in a microwave? Me neither, but I'd expect it to be like that.

[daranz]

So, who's gonna stand behind a standard AT4 as it's being fired, in order to see what happens?

i know that you'll die pretty easyily in AA if you stand behind an RPG going off, thats where alot of my TK's come from

[sekiryu]

Let me rephrase my question: has anyone ever fired an AT weapon inside a building, and died? Has anyone been behind an AT weapon and died? Is it just preventitive training, because they really don't know if you will die?

[gazzthompson]

if u say proof that it has happen then please provide proof that it hasnt or neither of us win the argument and we get no were.

ike i said , it never has happend because ppl just know not to do it.
