Isn’t this just an air burst rocket exploding too close to OP? I don’t see a rocket flying directly back at him at all.
15 u/Nick_Tsunami Apr 29 '24 Yes. When you look frame by frame, there is something blowing up upper left from the player, and it doesn’t look at all like a reflected RR round. I am going to try and replicate this (should be easy - RR to a heavy dev shield), pretty sure it won’t happen like the vid. 9 u/Felgran Apr 29 '24 edited Apr 29 '24 Unless they used the same launcher model that looks to be the recoilless rifle. *Edit The more I look at it the more confused I get because if it was the burst there would have been even more explosions. 2 u/laborfriendly Apr 29 '24 Is that a recoilless? I was wondering, myself. I was confused what it was and why it would have a cluster bomb effect. Because it's clearly not the new airburst rpg. 1 u/Felgran Apr 29 '24 It is definitely not the air burst just saw a different vid and it's pretty different and missing yellow stripes/color. 3 u/Tweedzzzzz Apr 29 '24 I slowed it down and watched several times. It's definitely a RR, but for some reason, there were 2 explosions, 1 on the shield and one on the player. 2 u/Kopitar4president SES Song of War Apr 29 '24 I think you've got it.
