"Battlefield does Battlefield things": This grenade launcher trick shot shouldn't even be possible

Once again, a classic Battlefield moment is making waves on Reddit. The buzz centers on a video posted by u/iShawnyy. In the clip, he spots a helicopter, takes aim with the grenade launcher, and fires a single shot. The grenade arcs through the air, hits the chopper, and instantly sends it crashing down. The original poster captions it simply: “Battlefield does Battlefield things.” The Reddit community responds with a collective “Excuse me!” – not just because of the lucky hit, but also because of the unexpected kill. By all accounts, this shouldn’t have been possible.

The grenade launcher in Battlefield 6 (PC version available for $70 on Amazon) isn’t meant for engaging airborne targets. It’s designed for infantry combat, with an unpredictable trajectory that makes accurate shots difficult. Unlike rocket launchers, it deals relatively low damage and shouldn’t be able to bring down a helicopter with a single hit. The fact that it did likely comes down to the chopper’s condition – black smoke was already trailing from it in the clip, indicating it was close to being destroyed.

The grenade launcher luck shot is just one of many iconic Battlefield moments the series is known for, thanks to its sandbox gameplay and quirky physics. From a single leaf ruining a sniper’s shot, to a bug players would rather keep, and even an Easter egg that pays tribute to Breaking Bad – Battlefield continues to deliver the kind of unpredictable chaos that keeps its community talking.
