Today I was playing on kark on rubberducky... and We had taken the cement factory. MEC troops were swarming near the flag and I was an engineer, and too far to use the shotty. I pulled my pistol out and started firing into the blob. One of the MEC was antitank and decided that I should be eryx meat. By the time I realized a giant missile was headed at me, I had to no time to move, I would die anyway. So naturally, I shot the remainder of my pistol rounds into the group, hoping I'd at least get some more damage in or hopefully a kill.

I ended up shooting the rocket that was heading at me, about 1m in front of my face. No Damage. I never knew this was possible and I don't intend to shoot any more down soon, but definatley cool when I was... alive.

Naturally I died a few seconds later from PKM fire though.

Nice one, everyone once in a while I get lucky enough to stand up, and jump over the rocket before it hits me.....gotta love those moments

Wonder if it was a product of the amazing disapearing Rocket bug?

Did you ever hear it explode?

Yeah, that is really cool, but did you ever think maybe something else happened to it? Like it really missed you, or it hit something else?

hmm I must un-verify this theory. Many times I've been using a tank (both shell and MG) and the rocket goes on. So, if a tank can't damage them, what can?

Just remember, I may be wrong, as I usually am, but I'm 90% sure this time.

It's possible... I didnt hear it explode but I saw it explode, it was coming right at my face and I shot it with my pistol. It... Couldn't have missed me, unless it was a bug.

Well, if you're right, then the rocket magically dissapeared infront of my face because I watched it explode.

Just think about it. The AT round explodes on contact with any entity in the game (with the exception of the bug where it goes through the object), so upon contacting any object such as a bullet or nade or what ever it will go off instantly.

Get with a friend on a server and try it out. With some trial (and errors ) you can recreate this.

It's very possible, and pretty reasonable too if you have a shotgun.

The missile has no hit points in the code so there's no way you can shoot it down. It must have hit something or it was a bug (or lag).

I agree with Sniper3. Plus, this is a game of mathematics. Each "bullet" is an input into a code. If you think about it with the terms of deviation, each bullet is individually and randomly(in a perfect world) given a margin of error to deviate from the zero-point flight path. I'm trying to sound smart. So going with this idea, that would mean that each projectile is entirely seperate from any others. I dont' know what I'm talking about. In other words, besides the hit points thing, I would say there no way for a pistol "bullet" and an AT "rocket" to know that each other were there and collide, even if lag and any other such factors were eliminated.

When you kill someone who has fired an AT rocket that is still in flight, the rocket explodes. What probably happened is that you killed the guy who shot the rocket.

Yes, that's more or less it. Except bullets have no flight time, they don't actually travel in this game. It's calculated where the bullet will end up, and the bullet is placed there, no in-between travelling.

Since the AT rocket has no hit box, it won't be regarded as a possibility of collision for the bullet, so the bullet will hit the nearest object behind it.

Most likely you killed the AT guy which caused the missile to disappear.

No wait. Maybe it is true. Lets all go to a server and all of you try to shoot my AT rockets coming at you. My K/D ratio could use a boost.

He was still alive.

Ive done it with a pump shot gun before. I was shooting at the AT guy and I blew up the missle in flight. Saw it explode.
