Maybe it wasn't the guy with the PKM. Perhaps a sniper nailed you from further away and you just thought it was the PKM.

Re: shot out of pilots seat with a PKM?

FHM mad max's screenshots clearly shows he was killed by a PKM and I think everyone probably knows how to read what weapon killed you in the upper left-hand corner.

My guess would be there is a some way to do it with just about any weapon. I've been shot out by a tank or an apc while flying and the chopper didn't explode...I was just somehow killed. The pilot flew back to the pad, I respawned and got back in. I never thought much of it because of all the bugs and stuff in this game.

explosive ordnance will go through the glass (Eryx, APC/Tank shells, Helo rockets), and then you have the M95. And now, this whole PKM thing is either true, or there was a server problem where it reported the weapon wrong. We've all seen this happen at one time or another.

i was hovering about 20 +/- feet above flag and got killed....the helo dropped like a rock. you can see the guy coming out from behind the red containers...behind us and to the right of helo. i have spent alot of time in helo and sniping at helo pilots and i think there is a glitch at the underbelly of the helo that kills the pilot. i just havent figured out where exacly it is. i remeber saying to myself...**** i got sniped, thats what i get for trying to cap flag with attack helo....then i see pkm...??lol

A PKM can take out a chopper in about 3 seconds:

Damage = 45
Magazine size = 100
Rounds per Minute = 450

Rounds Per Second = 7.5
Damage Per Second = 45*7.5 = 337.5


Hitpoints of Apache = 875


875/337.5 = 2.59259....

Round up to 3 seconds accounting for overheating


PKM specs:

rem ---BeginCompefaultAmmoComp ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent DefaultAmmoComp
ObjectTemplate.ammo.magSize 100

ObjectTemplate.damage 45


Apache specs:

rem ---BeginComp:Armor ---
ObjectTemplate.createComponent Armor
ObjectTemplate.armor.maxHitPoints 875
ObjectTemplate.armor.hitPoints 875
