Heavy Weapon Rules

[Makatta]

These are in the rules for the event now, some how they didn't make it in.

If you have questions about your heavy weapon and if it is allowed, PM the game admins.

4.8 HEAVY WEAPONS
4.8.1. An airsoft heavy weapon is defined as a grenade (M203 gas shells) launcher or a Nerf rocket/football projectile launcher that is either shoulder mounted or sets up like a mortar.

4.8.2. There are two types of these heavy weapons; light and heavy.
A. Light HW are launchers that shoot 203 gas shells that shower an area with BBs or they eject a Nerf rocket or a small soft ball.
B. Heavy HW are shoulder fired or large tubed launchers that shoot tennis balls, Nerf footballs or Nerf rockets.

4.8.3. LIGHT HEAVY WEAPON EFFECTS.
A. If a 203 BB shower shell is shot into a room, the BB has to hit you.
B. If the same effect is true for vehicles, the BB has to hit the occupants.
C. If a 203 launcher is used, and a Nerf rocket or a small Nerf ball is ejected, it will kill everyone in the room. Also, they will not penetrate walls.
D. If a 203 launcher is used, and a Nerf rocket or a small Nerf ball is used on a vehicle, it will disable it for 15 min, but not kill the occupants.

4.8.4. HEAVY HEAVY WEAPON EFFECTS.
A. If a heavy HW is used on a building wall, the area 10 ft from the impact outside is a kill zone, and all occupants in the room whose wall was hit are also killed. No other damage occurs to the rest of the building or occupants if someone else is in a different part of the building (different room).

B. If a heavy HW is used on a vehicle, it is destroyed and all occupants are killed. Vehicle will be moved back to the FOB and is out of play for 15 min. The are no medics for occupants of a vehicle kill.

I like Pyro's propane torch powered launcher.

[Makatta]

It is a mortar and does a very good job. He has/had a shoulder fired launcher that would shoot a Nerf football over 400 ft! Ran on compressed air.

Are vehicles capable of being "taken out" by AT4/Nerf 203 weaponary?

If so, where should said rocket be aimed?

IE: MSE says hit the front of the vehicle so drive can see.

That is correct. To take out a vehicle, it has to hit the front hood or window as the driver has to see it and declare he is hit and out. It has to be a rocket, like a Nerf rocket or football. BB showers do not take out vehicles, but can hit the occupants in back.

Small rockets take out the vehicle, but the occupants live. Big rockets or large rocket launchers, kills the vehicle and occupants.

ALL PERSONNEL IN THE FRONT ARE ADMINS AND THEREFORE OUT OF PLAY. THEY ARE THERE FOR VEHICLE SAFETY, TRANSPORT AND HIT CALLING. IF THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN, DO NOT SHOOT THEM AS THEY ARE CONSIDERED OUT OF PLAY.

if we bring some nerf footballs can we use them as like grenades to thow at the vehicle

[The Captain]

No, they must be launched. The Iraqis aren't really good with hand-thrown, anti-vehicle weapons. They get lucky occasionally, but not really. Plus, the vehicles we're using don't have the gunners that would annihilate you if you got close enough to try, and you shouldn't be getting that close to moving vehicles anyway.
