It doesnt make it fun to be killed, but being killed by M79 or a Barret just screams OMG in your mind. Think about it. Have you ever heard people complain like this: "omg everyones using steyr this is so cheap", "omg stop using deagles its so unfair!"? It really is all about how your mind perceives it. For some reason I, and so many others just get aggrevated when they are killed by an m79, but with other guns they don't.

If it makes you mad that people only use m79 and barret, you need more worries. They arent that bad, and people just get mad and use them more if you tell them what to do. This whole topic is counter-productive and a waste of time.

I'm not sure how other one hit kill weapons get around being frustrating. I have seen complaints about the m72 law, but it doesnt bother me because of its painfully long reload time and because it has to be on the ground to use it.
When I get killed by grenades, I just assume that it was a dumb move to trip over it and should have payed more attention. Chainsaws are just far too easy to avoid. I think the reason why I am annoyed of the people who use m79s and barrets is that when they kill me with it, I can't possibly come up with a way I could have avoided being killed with it. Any other gun I can.

Minigun maybe, because of minigun surfing and spraying. Ruger I've heard a wee bit about on realistic servers, but real mode doesnt count. I know you totally made that up. So dont even try to pull that card.
Theyre a part of the problem because they feel the only way to play is to use a weapon that most people can hardly avoid. They don't challenge me as much, because they miss a great deal of the time. But being killed with them just leaves me clueless as to what I could have done to get away.
@Senik - I've heard a few of those, however very little. The very slim group of people who hate those guns are often just plain mad and must be having an off day. I'm pretty sure they dont truly assume those guns are being cheap or unfair. To be honest, I dont consider the m79 really that much unfair. It's just annoying to be killed by. The law isnt used nearly as much as the m79 to really be bothered by it as much.The laws reload time is nearly triple of the m79. The m79 is a run and gun type of weapon, where as the law is not. Someone sitting on the ground for a second or two is easy to take out with grenades. It's even easier to notice him drop to the ground when he wants to use his law. When using an m79, you just fly by at a high altitude so that the arc is no issue, and just drop bombs on the individuals that fly by. It's annoying to be the unlucky victims that just dont have the oppurtunity to escape it.The way they kill me, is just run, jump and get to the other side of the map as fast as possible (assuming that this is CTF, since it is my favored game mode), and just point and click at each person as they pass em. Guns like autos, you actually have to spend a bit of time to kill them, by holding your aim on the person for a while to get some good shots to kill him. With a one hit kill weapon like the M79 or barret, you just point, click, and keep running.
It almost happened to me. The past few times I used the m79 and barrets for one day, (at some of your requests) and I was hesitant to go back to using the other guns that I normally used, because I just found it easy to use over other weapons.
"If noobs want to get familiar with it, I'm cool with that. I had to get familiar with it in a point in my soldat life too. I've used it before, I still test it every once in a (very long) while today. Its the fact that people dont get out of the habit of using it all the time that bothers me. They gotta stop."
Dont give me directions on how to fight m79ers and barreters. I've heard em all before. 99% of which are things I already do while playing soldat. Help with fighting M79ers and barreters not what I'm talking about. I dont care about your little techniques.
