Though these have no explosive power, they have the effect of you basically not being able to shoot straight. You sway around involountarily and basically cannot hit anything. Any scout or medic is likely to use these to defend themselves, giving you little chance to hit them - a very effective defence against HWGuys and soldiers, though
the more savvy soldier is likely to shoot at the ground at your feet doing you splash damage. If useed correctly they can ber very effective, not only concussing any defender but also
blowing them a few feet away, ie out of a narrow corridor, etc. They also work through walls and ceilings. Though they do you no damage from the blast, they can hurt you if the blast slams you against a wall or into the air.
I more advanced tactic is to use them to conc jump. Personally, I play medic and scout very little so I don't use this teqnique, though there are many web sites out there that will explain how to do this, both manually and with scripts. Conc jumping is an extremely effective method of getting to places faster and easier than you could otherwise and it can be practically impossible for a badly organised defence on a public
server to keep you out.
