You don't have to die

[Nikoomba]

I love the idea of dragging away screaming Infers.
Johnny, I can't feel my legs!!
It would have to leave a nice blood trail though, making it even more dangerous to rescue a team-mate. Hey, if you can make footprints....

I love the smell of Napalm in the morning.

hrmm

what about gaining points by infiltrating the enemy's base and killing their wounded soldiers before they can rescue them?


btw i think inf should add like a little snub nose .38 revolver for backup

usually when I kill an oposing team member...They die.

maybee

you could check if they where alive after the battle has been cleared. if they are shoot them with a DE in the head at point blank. If not shoot them in the head with a DE. hehehehe You have to make sure.

By the time you notice me it will be all over.

People who shoot wounded men should be hung, I say add a gallow to each inf level and after each round instead of just dying you get to hang TK's and wounded killers.

Sheep's idear sounds prety cool, that would make the game more challanging and fun too.

When a limb is severed pretty low, ie. not a leg at the pelvis or an arm at the shoulder (not sure, but i think that's about it) the blood vessels contract rapidly to stop the bleeding, not fully, but it helps. If your main artery in the thigh is severed, and you have at least pretty high blood pressure (common in a combat situation) the blood would probably be spraying like crazy, and you would bleed to death very quickly. Thus, for some reason, if a limb is completely severed, you might stand a better chance than if you were simply shot in an artery....(not sure, but what i've read indicates this)

Bleeding out

I'm going to disagree (I just love this stuff). I'm going to get into some minutiae here... .

At a given level along an extremity, your chances of survival are greater if a main artery is opened up or transected by a bullet, compared to your chances following a traumatic amputation.

The reason is that if the compromised area of the artery is still surrounded by tissue--muscle, fascia, integument--there will be some amount of tissue hydrostatic pressure helping to tamponade the bleeding. The tamponading effect of externally-applied pressure will be assisted by this surrounding tissue, as well. Plus, in the forearm and the calf, you have two major arteries, so if one of them is "shot open", you have one bleeding major artery out of two, whereas if a sudden amputation occurs at the same level, all the arteries (two main ones and various small ones) will be pumping blood into the dirt.
