And as for the LMG argument.... two things.
1. I THINK there is a limit to the amount of damage that can be absorbed by the Riot Shield. If he was standing there just taking punishment, it's possible that it got to the point where the shield broke and he just went down.
2. It's a lot more likely that he just took a stray bullet to the leg and went down. LMG's are notoriously inaccurate so bullets would have been all over the place.
One cool thing about the Riot shield which I found is that if you step out, and enemy soldier is shooting your shield... you get an assist if your teammates kill him while he's shooting your shield  |
Hmm, the assist thing is pretty cool. Of course, to really solve this problem, I may just resort to attaching a noobtube to a couple packs.
