That is whole reason for this topic. I definately understand what you mean.
The AA rules state as follows on rocorchets....
If you are hit anywhere, you are out. This includes any extension of your body (backpacks, items sticking out from your mask, etc...) except your gun(s). Ricochets do not count as hits, but shots through foliage do count. Friendly fire also counts! If you are hit by your teammate, you are dead. If you are hit on your AEG, you are considered dead UNLESS you have a backup weapon WITH YOU (not off a teammate). You need to then use ONLY your .......
so which way would be better? If I even have the slight doubt about a hit I call it anyway, in the past when I was sure that a shot was a richorchat I didn't call it, as per the rule, but I see what you mean. I will definetely change that.
