What are the chances of this?

So, yesturday I was BP'ing and as everybody should now by now I BP with the Itani. Well anyway I was fighting a bot with Gauss MKII, and one of my shots missed, then a couple seconds later I hear a beep. Now, what happened was that the shot that missed traveled for a couple hundred meters and hit one of my teammates. So, what are the chances of that :P

hey, I've managed to hit Borb (I think it was) something like 700m away with a *rail*, while in a furball and just missing a vult in front of me. you blink a few times and then you get "Alamar, hey!" on the comms and just get confused. :-)

How about trying to repair somebody during combat, missing and repairing the enemy instead? >.<

Heh I hit Martin once with some rockets.... Missed the two VPRs I was aiming at, went 200+ more ms and killed poor Martin.

Needless to say I was buying the beer that night.

oh yea, our famous VPR lag-n-dodge. Works like a charm :)

Hehe, an accidental hit is usually quite funny, unless you're using quad advanced rails or an MGC. Then it's really funny.

yeah, nothing like "saving" poor Shape in a multi, by removing 80% of his armor. bugger still came out alive though, somewhat miffed at his teammates, but alive.

lol, so it seems a lot of people have "accidental" hits :P

If you spectate... (and especially if you like to watch up close)... friendly fire *can* be an issue... however, I am *loved* by all factions... and my mates simply can't hurt me (friendly fire protections work the *other* way too - which is why we have "Fox Viper" for training)... watching those that can hurt me... well, I call that training... and I've dodged a few times from the overspray...

Seta *grins*, yet again...

iirc I boomed Borb, and Mystic boomed me. I also gave Alamar a triflare serve. Ahh the hazards of being in a multinational guild.

Hmm then who did I boom?

Maybe it was Seb... Hehe, and maybe it was not an accident after all...

Heh heh, I was fighting Nerde Verde and MB, when suddenly a pair of flares from Cunjo's Rag nail Nerde right in the back. It took him out of the fight to repair and left me with a better chance at surviving. I thanked Cunjo when MB and I were done our fight, but Cunjo replied saying that he was actually trying to hit someone else and inadvertently pegged Nerde. We had a good laugh over that one.

Well I remember one time when I was fighting a couple people, and some UIT decided to help me out and flared me in the back. Ah the curse of helpful people who can't aim...
