The resulting launch does not negate fall damage. If the player crouches whilst shooting they will not move; the same goes for the target.

*The Flint-Knock Pistol can be used for self mobility, such as reaching high ground, or it can be used for offensive mobility, such as knocking a player off a structure, or into the storm.
*If you equip two Balloons, jump up in the air and fire the Flint-Knock pistol towards the ground. It will push you upwards. If you continue to use the Flint-Knock pistol in this way, you can theoretically stay in the air for the entire match. Although, you would need infinite ammo to do that.
