This happens often to everyone:

Firing a M79 down towards an enemy near a poly. The poly ricocheted the M79 shot, causing it to hit the enemy directly instead of just a simple explosion.

Awesome, I consider law one of my favorite guns. The arc and the ricos just make it amazing.

^ Regarding that, I had a friend who taught me a couple of LAW spots in a certain CTF map, which were excellent for ricochet shots.

I'd say my favorite law shot I ever done was at 1:03

Yea, that was so satisfying seeing my name on the kill log.

Awesome
I would have to say many times I fluke these ricos because I would surely have missed, but the rico just gets them.  Happens a lot around the ground, where your sniper binks downwards and you shoot the ground bouncing into their stomach instead of just shooting them, but also in open areas with LAW ;D

It took me a long time, but I finally managed to master a law I saw someone do in a gather.

I have a favorite law rico on Voland but I've never got it to land on someone.


(The first time it try it I fail pretty bad.)

Barrett, ah I wish I had my games from the past few weeks recorded. Not stupid "oh this looks cool I shall try it" HC rico action ingame, on purpose of course.

Had it not been for where i live...(Middle East)-ping.
I would be recording my games...I am somewhat of a ricochet shooter, meaning i can spot and perform ricochets in needed situations, and i think I'm pretty good at it too, i once even ricocheted a flagger 2 screens away after like 5 seconds of calculation, the map was argy. The rico: above the bride, the is a hanging piece of ground, with 2 pointed tips, i shot the round into the curved space between them, killing the flagger near a collider. In the high back.

You don't calculate your rico shots, at least not for five seconds.

You do when it's the flagger, friend :D

I had a law shot with 3 (!) ricochets ;D Actually I wanted to hit a bot from red flagplace and near the edge it went suddenly up, I rushing behind with M9. After reaching the top it went down again and hit NEARLY the right edge of bravos bunker, where it went suddenly MORE downwards and hit a bot ;D

I know this sounds like "wtf? Liar!", but it isnĀ“t [pigtail]

Well, the best map I love to ricochet on is Arena2. I have played that map so many times I have calculated with M79 how to ricochet nearly every shot I make. Also, barret is very good for ricochets in small passageways because it keeps only ricocheting.

Although i only adore one of the arenas, the original one, i must say the somehow are cool :D
And as to the barret ricochets if you guys ever join any inf servers i play on, (Elie Headshooters, FORBES's, Graveyard inf...) and we're playing inf_outpost ui can show you a rico that REALLY wouldn't be expected when going the low passageway under the SG ;P (stationary gun)

Damn Jeremy and his LAW ricochet in ctf_Ash...

I always die by the front entrance because of it.


Curse you Jeremy!
