I know this is off topic and should be in the "Help and training" forum but..

Try to shoot them before they're really low to the ground.

Works for me

Open up really low to the ground. Works for me. And even if ya get me, wasted ammo.

3264 of them were FDBs. WTG guys! !

Shooting people in chutes is pointless or more accurately perkless. I was guilty of it in the past I must admit but rarely now. In any case it just helps them get back in the action quicker. Let them hang there and float forever. I used to quite enjoy the view but now open really low like a kind of HALO jump. I do like the idea of people crashing while trying to hit chutes. Poetic justice, methinks?

Poetic or not it's funny as hell. Almost as funny as the guy who passed me and crashed as I was spinning in.

That's how many people have died near chutes.. not trying to kill them.

BTW, I haven't died trying to shoot a chute this tour. I'm 42-0.

Then you haven't shot at mine yet cause the only time I've died in one is laughing.

The whole point is to get them back into the action quicker so you can pop their chute again.

3265 bananas, who got their comeuppance. What's the POINT of shooting a chute? The guy's going down anyway.

Or is it in any way related to an obsession with score?

No, it has an awful lot to do with my obsession with people squeaking and moaning on Channel 1 over something as little as one set of pixels doing something else to another set of pixels.

The signal to noise ratio for shooting chutes makes it worth it the trouble.

Is it possible to kill chutes while the chute has not been opened? I remember falling down (chute closed) and taking lots of hits. But didn't die.

if they weren't meant to be shot, they wouldn't blowup in such a purty fireball when they are

Arlo · « **Reply #12 on:** February 02, 2003, 09:28:10 AM »

Eww ... fireball! Shoot me! Shoot me! heh heh heh

Absolutley.

They are part of the strat... they have explosives strapped to em. I have never missed a chute. It is extremely good deflection shooting practice to shoot the cowardly sabatours while they are in freefall.
