OMG WAS THAT A M203 KILL?!

PANDAmonium · 07-14-2005

This is really just for clan wars.
If you think someone used an M203 on you, but didn't have enough time to see the kill (say there were a lot of kills happening and it made the hud scroll up fast) then you should do this to confirm it.

Look at your body
Look at the arms
If the arms are at a "Y" position then that's the first half pointing to the M203 Kill
Look at your legs
If your legs are SPREAD OUT then that is evidence that you died in the air and was blown back by an explosive force, most likely the m203.

When killed normally by a weapon you are at a standing postiionand you will have one leg straight or almost straight and the other kinda bent at the knee because all you did was fall backwards. The m203 THROWS you backwards and looking at the way you landed can help tell.

Sometimes a grenade can make you look like this though so don't always assume that it was a projectile grenade launcher.

Nice tip Panda. Must have been fun finding that out. lol

I think he realized that.........But great tip (on how to find out.)

nice tip. BTW if you think you someone was killed by an IW, search all the seal bodies and you might just find one of an illegal weapon.

I dont find this especially helpful, more of a fun fact. If i hear a big boom and i die then i know it was either a nade or m203, looking at my body wont tell me the difference.

lol, yes, now we can all play socom like we're on CSI!
*BOOM! What happened here? These backward arm markings suggest an explosive. Grenade? No, we've confirmed each SEAL threw 6 grenades early on, so we can rule that out. Hmmmm. Wait! Listen! Dead terrorist players are b1tching and complaining! Aha! Complaining, explosive, put 2 and 2 together, it must've been a 203!*
LMAO

Hahaha i like this idea lol. I can see it now in the lobby after a war.

Okay so we won
WTF NO YO UDIDNT WE SWEPT YOU
no yo ucant confirm that any of you killed us but we have a theoretical doctrine in socom and we say taht from the force of the explosion and bullet fragments tumbling inside of you that were found during the autopsy that IGOTSHOT!!!--24 was our first kill and on to our second kill...

Hey Pandamonium, that Y-arm, spread legs description is the same way the body looks when you get hit by a nade from the front, and i don't why its so important, im sure if i get killed in a clan war by an m203, im sure my one out of 7-4 other clanmates present either a) saw that "so and so fragged such and such with M203 HE" b) in the case that there is a lot of killing causing the hud to scroll up fast, then again, one out of my 7-4 clanmates present would have heard the distinctive blast of the M203 so i don't see the point in this thread, im just that bored...and mind you Pandamonioum, im not trying to insult you, just pointing something out...
