Ripper not working right

so i just got a 0 score in a match which pissed me off but more then that this is also what pissed me off.

i fired a shot of the ripper ahead of an enemy, when they ran into it… it did no damage at all, it just knocked them up into the air…

so wtf this that crap about? sometimes when an enemy runs into my discs from the ripper itll do damage, other times it wont do diddly squat. how has this gone unnoticed?

also a question, if you hit a rippers discs from the side will it still deal damage or does it need to be from the front?

Well, if you hit a sawblade from the side would it deal damage?

It makes sense that’s how this would work
