Odd question, but one with a neat twist if possible?

With the normal flamer backblast, can you hijack a friendly rocket/grenade to re-fire it and score, such as the demo crit grenade misses, you launch it up again to nail a person, or corner firing with a soldier shooting safely, like at the start of the 2fort sewer? (pyro at entrance, soldier at health down there.)
 
That is a fantastic question. It seems mostly to be designed to deflect an enemy's shot back at him, but if it affects any projectile, I don't see why it wouldn't work on a friendly one to redirect it.

It bears testing. Has anyone tried it out?
 
I haven't specifically tried it out, but I believe that you can only reflect enemy projectiles.
 
i've tried it, i either have really bad aim or it doesnt work because i never reflected any friendly rockets or grenades
 
Only enemies, because the same teams textures go through each other i.e. you can walk through your teammates. However, if friendly fire was on I think you could.
 
Well phooey! thanks for trying, and a shame too. at least with this, the 2fort intel sentry can be taken down pyro now. thanks for trying.
