I know these kill icons are in the game files, but should it be specified that they're not actually in use right now?  I think it would be best to put in what icons are actually used in the game, with the intended ones just below. About a week ago I got a kill with a deflected flaming arrow and the kill icon was the same as an ordinary flaming arrow bodyshot, so things still aren't fixed.

And perhaps since compression blast is used on the basic FT and degreaser, those weapons should have their kill icon list expanded with the airblast kill icons? (either in use, or the intended ones shown here right now). Maybe with a template, I'm not too great with this stuff yet but could give it a shot in a couple days. -[[User:Unapologetically Bad|Unapologetically Bad]] 14:28, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Airblast self-damage bug

According to the "Bugs" section (and I quote), "Reflected grenades, Sentry Gun rockets, and Detonator flares all incorrectly inflict 85-170 self-damage (45-90 self-damage if reflected with the Dragon's Fury).". Silly question, but considering this has been the case for years, how do you know it really is a bug? Likio (talk) 00:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

In general, reflected projectiles (and projectiles in general) do less damage to yourself than to other players. This is why a crit rocket jump doesn't instantly kill you, for example. Some bugs simply exist for years and aren't fixed. There is no true way of knowing if these are bugs without directly looking at the code, but they go against the expected behaviour of projectile self-damage.
