I thought fire extingushers were for saving people and property?

Why are the fire extinguishers in BF2042 trying to murder the occupants of the buildings?

Also they seem to detonate underbarrel grenades so if you are under its effect, the grenades you fire will explode in your face instead !!

....well, it's not like I was defending its inclusion in the game but on the list of bad moves in BF2042, this falls way down on the bottom of my list. I only bought this game for Portal personally.

@UP_Hawxxeye To be fair, they are compressed air containers and sudden combustion around them could be deadly to nearby individuals. Some also contain toxic chemicals that if inhaled are a problem. Lastly, if you fire an M203 round, depending on the distance (if it has enough time to arm, assuming this hero shooter simulates that) should kill/maim you. Shrapnel doesn't know friend from foe. There are a lot of things wrong with this game, being penalized for shooting myself in the foot really isn't one of them.

I just do not want the contact with cold innert GAS to be detonating my M203.
If I shoot it at a target next to me I get that the blast should also damage me.

@UP_Hawxxeye Gaseousfire suppression systems are used to prevent more damage. What smothers the fire, usually smothers humans as well.

@UP_Hawxxeye There are a couple of grenades that impact when colliding with particle effects, like steam, mist, dust, etc.
It is so tricky to throw EMP grenades, without detonating them in your face.
Underbarrel grenades have similar issues.
