Blowing up the explosive barrels with the M95 i so damn fun.
Find a good spot where you have a clear shot at one or several gas barrels. wait untill someone is near it and pull the trigger. Usually the victim dont know wth happend. I even managed to blow up some fully loaded vehicles in this way.

Remember that no one expects the red barrels to blow up in their face. use that to your advantage

C U in my sight

BloodySky: WTF!? FU-KING HACKERS!!

LoL JK.
I just had to add the last part in there.
Even though I never accuse anyone of hacking. It's just a stupid excuse to make when you get owned.

I find this helpful for weakening/taking out Humvees/Vodniks/FAVs/etc., too bad the same can't be said for APCs and Tanks.

A single C4 + a gas barrel or propane trailer = effect of two C4 paks on an APC or tank parked (or passing) alongside. Gives a lonely Spec-Ops a bit more "BAng for the buck" . . .

Too bad you cant pick em up and move em around to place them on a tactical location like the Green Baret in Commando's

That would be a good use for all those damn wheelbarrows around the place.

It would be even cooler if they had 'burning man' animations. When a barrel explodes beside someone hot burning gas envelopes them. This burning person runs around screaming "OHGOD OHGOD IT BURNS" for a few seconds.

... hell, I'd be entertained

While the animation sounds good the "OHGOD OHGOD IT BURNS" part sounds a little, erm, well sadistic .
(I'd be secretly entertained though )
I like the idea of moving things, wheelbarrows... maybe, I suppose it would make for one of the best and most annoying suicide bombing tricks. (put all your c4 in and ride down the hill on Sharqi into the beach cp ) But moving the gas tanks to places of tactical significance, that would be quite cool.

The single most entertaining shot I've ever taken was on the propane tank at the Refueling Station on Kubra. A fully loaded FAV pulled up to the flag just as a smoking and fully loaded Blackhawk hovered low to assist in the capture. One shot from an M95 at the propane tank set it off and the red barrel near it. The detonation took out the FAV and all of its occupants as well as the Blackhawk. Boom--9 kills. I was smiling for the rest of the day.

I was by the train accident in Karkand 64 player/64 map - I had just spawned as MEC and USMC were everywhere - I hid in the shadows under the ramp with the flag in sight. A guy ran up to cap it - 2 shots with F2000 boom! one barrel blows up, one kill + defend flag. Two more guys run in so I shot the other barrel another 2 kills and defend flag. After that no more barrels to shoot but I still took out 2 more guys before they finally noticed I was there.

edit: Oh yes, and once on warlord I ran up to the Palace Security Office CP and found 3 insurgents facing me - I was anti tank so I just unloaded my DOA-12 into the explosive barrel in front of me Killed me too but so what???

Also talking about exploding stuff, I was an SAS sniper near the TV station owning (amazingly simple yet good sniping spot there) and someone ran under my spot. Instead of exposing myself and shooting with my m24, I dropped a nade. It killed him - and blew an ATV nearby which killed his friend

Soldier of Fortune has some great kill animations including the Burning Man. I'd run around with the flame thrower just to BBQ some poor soul to listen to the scream and watch the death twitch. hehe...brings back memories...

The only weapon that did one better was using the microwave gun to pop a guy like a zit. complete with spray and bits and bits and bits...

ok so i was in a crane one time (yeah i've written that its dumb for snipers to use cranes) and well, this time it kind of was because i had a group of three MEC on top of the middle flag (that building) at sharqi. well, i had the m24 so i had to take two shots but i just poked my head up and hit the barrels twice. the three enemies were standing up and firing and then boom. it was funny.
