ive never seen a rpg come out going one direction then make a 90 degree turn and go the other way almost looking like it bounced of the person. Looks great in slow mo. I have the film if you wanna see it. Other then that it rocks.

I'd love to see it.
Bets are off for how many people hate Magma for this. Why is it that you only get complaints about patches ruining WWII? Because more people know all of the ins and outs of the plug?

How big is the file? Send it to my hotmail if it'll fit (inbox is 250 MB, but I don't know what you can send and don't want a huge-ass file in there).

Actually Evilzen I saw that happen about a year ago. The instance I saw had a soldier run right across in front of another unit firing the rpg. It hit the interfering soldier and bounced off like you describe. It wasn't a bug in this case - just a feature of how the tags are designed in the plugin (I won't go into detail unless you really want me to).
If you saw what I described above then its not a bug. On the other hand if the RPG had traveled some distance before the "bounce" then something may be awry & I'd gladly see the film - iron(at)projectmagma.net. That said ... we did have a long public beta for a reason you know 
Lastly Elfoid .. you're not being helpful mate.

when rpg's are thrown, after 0.03s they promote to another flying rpg which gives them a little boost. It would be possible the rpg bounced during the transfer

yep, that's what happened in the example I referred to.

I've had this happen in 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5. It's not new. I'm not quite sure how it happens, but if you hit something right, the RPG will bounce off.

It's a low probability, so I doubt anyone can 'cheat' and do it on purpose, so not important really. I've seen it only 2 - 3 times.
