Grenade launcher dud bug

The Chinese Grenade launcher has a bug where a round will not explode if it is bounced off a wall or object. This bug makes the kit prettymuch useless. It bounces because it is in the minimum range I think, however that extends to a distance unrealistically far, about 50m.

It does explode, actually -- just you don't see it. I TK'd a guy that way once.

Really? A squadmate who saw me shoot them noted on VOIP that they were not exploding either.

I guess if they do kill they can be some kind of stealth weapon.

Yeah I was with him, didnt see anything explode. Just saw it bounce off into oblivion.

I never had that problem, neither heard of it before ôÔ

Happened on Basrah before with my squad -- we where chucking grenades at Airfield (practice, waiting for chopper to try out a new tactic) and none of them had the explosion animation.

At one point our sniper was tossing them, we could see them fly, but his rifle would fire instead of his arm throwing it.

Sometimes in X-TREEEEEEM lag conditions, nades will sometimes disappear.
However, if we could get them to not explode below the minimun range, that would be a good thing.

There was no lag on the server. With respect to min range, these rounds were fired beyond minimum range, however they acted as if it was within min range leading me to the assumption that the min range was improperly set.

I will try to investigate this further.

When I was launching them they kept exploding to the right of my aimer. The smoke trail was pretty straight though.

I've also had this happen to me quite often using the grenade launcher from an insurgents cell leader kit. Of the 8 grenades fired I'd say only about 5 actually appear to explode while shooting them all the same distance. Not sure if they really are doing damage and you just cant see it, or they may be duds. Not sure. Just think it should be checked out.
