yeh hi all,
in movies such as project X and short and sweet, a lot of the time you see a player throw his weapon up, fly under it, and catch it back. My question now is, how do you throw your weapon UP??
I've tried quite a few times and sometimes it works, but i don't know how i did it! what's the secret to this trick i'd like to know plz.

GrEeTz,

Wait until you drop down and then throw it...

Try and get a high jump, jet up and let go of the jets then as your falling drop your weapon then get underneath it and catch it ;o. Only easy when you know the answer.

well... Simple, Soldat is not the movies. And I wanna see you throw a 10kg weapon up and catch it without bone fractures. ;)

Yeah FN Minimi is a MASSIVE gun, and the Minigun isn't even designed to be held by human hands, but to be mounted on vehicles.

The trick is, like Jaz said, to get somewhere up high, and start falling. About half a second after you start to fall, drop your weapon. It only looks like it's being thrown up, but it looks that way because the soldier is falling down faster than the weapon is, therefore the weapon looks like it's thrown upwards. Just M79 jump, start to fall, drop your weapon, get under it using the walking keys and jet boots, and your soldier will catch it. I could make a demo for you if you like.

Edit: By the way, glad you watched Short and Sweet. ;)

Speaking of "grenade catching", I hit some guy with a grenade, and it blows up, but instead of the head sort of falling in an eliptecal, like it normally does, the head flew like a rocket!

There was a massive blood stream following it, and it all fell on me. I was so distracted by it, I got hit by my worst enemy, a Barret Assaulter.
