Just playing Ezra's rail.... great map btw.. and a thought struck me.
What's the record for railing multiple players?
I've seen plenty of 2fers and the odd 3fer. But has anyone even actually line up a whole bunch of people to see how many 1 rail can kill. If not, THEY SHOULD! lol
31 players all lined up and the 32nd shoots down the lot with pecs to post here. Could do the same with a nuke I suppose.
Just a thought. |

Only 5?
That's disappointing 
The rail will go through steel and it stops at 5 people?
Were you testing it on really thick people??? LOL |

My most unbattalable rail shot was from 1 flag of Checkmate to the other flag of checkmate, without scope (not that the scope would make any difference being that far out)
I think the better question is how far can the rail actually travel through walls..
I'm certain the rail can't actually 3fer in 1 shot.. only 2fer 
Unless you glitch, But that basically means you're not doing the kill in 1 shot.. doing the kills in around anywhere between 2 - 8 shots..
I don't think Genxer was stating he killed 5 in 1 shot. |

It's a conversation we already had on this very forum and someone claimed he had made the experiment and found himself unable to rail more than 3 players in a row. |

You don't need to have people line up... You can just start a server by yourself and try it on clutter objects...
However, molodiets is right. In MP it's impossible for the rail to penetrate more than 3 objects simaltaneously. |

Well in (E) we have lined many people up in a row for several tests of the rail it only kills 2 people max, 3fers are not possible with 1 rail. If the rail has 2 or more projectiles at 0 spread it might work but in (E) servers we have that server mod and I’m pretty sure it’s still a 2-person limit. |

I was just playing with glass walls to see how many of those it will smash through. I had 16 walls lined up one after the other. First shot it smashed only 9. Second time I tried it, all 16 smashed.
I then tried the yellow ultor barrels with 32 of those lined up.
First shot destroyed 6 and the second shot destroyed 11.
Now this was the editor test mode so I then tried it in MP mode.
All 16 glass walls were smashed in MP mode with one rail but I could not destroy more than 2 of the barrels.
Here's the map I used in case anyone wants to play with it.
Its only glass and barrels though lol.

Or how many players can spawn into a single small room with one spawn point? Say a 1,1,2 room with 32 player limit lol. |

The most I have ever done was 2 at a time. I doubt I could ever do 5, 5 just seem like an odd number of people to kill with one odd rail shot.  |

I've done a 5fer. but I guess it really wouldn't count because I actually had 5 people line up in a row and I shot them lol, but I didn't kill them all at once. I guess the most that I have ever done by accident would have to be a 3fer. |

Fine, Nobody congratulate me for my unique rail kills from 1 end of Checkmate to the other... 
| Quoting KERPAL | | I've done a 5fer. |
I don't think you are getting the facts, 2fer is the most you can get.. So how can you get a 5fer when it's not possible?
| Quoting Kiliad | | Or how many players can spawn into a single small room with one spawn point? Say a 1,1,2 room with 32 player limit lol. |
I'm pretty certain you could spawn all 32 players, But majority of the players would be in a "Stuck" state.. not able to move. 
Interesting. |

If you got all the heads lined up it might work Since every mesh/material has a set amount*distance travelled through said object that it takes from the penetrating value of the projectile. And the head isn't as 'deep' as the main body, also it has its own damage multiplier 
Never tried it though so I'm just thinking aloud |

This minor dispute needs a resolution.
Maybe we need to test this again until everyone is satisfied.
We should all get together in a server and test it where lag is also involved. A nice mix of broadband players and those poor slobs still on dialup (e.g. Me ) |

Good idea but what time should this meeting take place.
I could host the server but might not be able to join until I finish painting one of the tenants bathroom. They use to have mildew. I say use to because I fragged it last night with the almighty bleach.
Now I just have to primer it and then paint it.
Did I just say "just".  |

btw, Im not sure if anyone has thought about this.
For example, you are in editor (hypothetically) and you make a window. But you have to set a life to it, correct? What if, since everyone is getting different outcomes, each entity, such as glass, people, or barrels, have different "points of life." Singleplay Rail Driver damage and MP damage are WAY different, I think by 1000 damage or so...So, for people who know about ui editing, if you changed the damage (and again this is hypothetical) you could possibly shoot through dozens of people. Let THAT stir in your heads for a little bit
