Hey Pyroman BP apparently has the smallest 'hit sphere' (Phoenix has the largest) - perhaps you're only getting them with a glancing shot instead of full on..? Shields are supposed to be pretty much the same as the pyro, ie. quite a lot less than Magnum... (Pyro=1.0, Magnum=1.4, Phoenix=0.7) Suncho had a website a while back where all these figures were shown but I don't have the URL, sorry... I hate a damn MD hit BTW - you always end up facing in some odd direction, usually into a wall, and it can take some time to sort out which way you need to turn to escape - by which time you're dead <LOL> Nick... -- Nick M.V.Salmon...
