A few minutes ago I was on Renegade Community #1 when I experienced a strange server kill message. It said that a player killed himself with a ramjet right after he killed me in my kamikaze suit up close. Is this a kamikaze script glitch or a splash-damage hack?
Unfortunately all I have from my chat log is a bunch of nulls.

Note that Walkabout is not the player!
The server and I were running resurrection at the time.

Splash damage is server-side and cannot be cheated.
I guess that this wasn't really a bug. Under very rare conditions it is possible to damage yourself even without splash damage (same as that you can sometimes repair yourself).

Maybe he didn't kill himself using a ramjet, but died with a ramjet...

No, Resurrection shows the weapon causing the damage, not the weapon the player currently uses.

Resurrection claimed he had an accidental death with his ramjet.

Maybe someone put a c4 on his face/arm/body and he shot at it from a certain angle, which made the shot ricochet onto himself? I've seen and done it before.

Since when does the W3D engine allow ricochets without the bullet bounce setting above 0?

Try shooting thru a tree, the bullet gets deflected in all sorts of weird directions.

The bullet hole and supposed "ricochet" marks appear, but the bullet does not actually deflect when I tried. I did notice that some projectiles such as the proxy mine can bounce off things, but not bullets.

Actually, a bullet does bounce away. I experienced this a lot when playing CanyonRiver in APB every time I tried to shoot someone standing behind a tree. None of the shots got through (to him) even though the person was in front of me according to radar.

Isn't that just the tree stopping the bullets?
