RPG Backblast

[thefoxyone]

I've been asking for this since i first started playing Source, but please can we do something about people firing RPG's at close ranges and indoors without blowing themselves to pieces with backblast or splashback etc. Its not Quake rocklet arena ffs

You can shoot RPG indoors as long as there's enough space between you and the wall AFAIR?

And it should be a case in this game. It's a good idea tho, but You know what's even better?

RPG's, much like M203 grenades, arm after travelling a certain distance. No impact boom on 5 m.

No more "let's die together" suicide acts.

Its not all or even most RPG's that can be fired from enclosed spaces.

RPGs have a simple contact detonator, the safety is a protective cap on top of the sensor rod, which you take off before shooting. 40 mm grenades have internal delayed automatic safety.

There's a technical reason for this. For 40 mm grenades it's not feasible to have individual manually operated safety devices. At the same time, they do require a safety to prevent explosions during handling, the warhead should not be armed unless it's been fired. The percussion cap sets off both propellant and the safety ejector fuse, which split second later removes it. RPGs have manually operated safety so they don't need any additional internal mechanisms for that.

I stand corrected.
