+
+[Recently](https://github.com/cxong/cdogs-sdl/issues/444) we've added *mass* as a parameter for bullets. This decouples the amount of pushback from the amount of damage the bullet deals. Previously these were the same.
+
+This helps improve some guns like the flamer, which deals a lot of damage but doesn't necessarily push back a lot.
+
+What's interesting is that mass can be *negative*, which means instead of pushing back, it pulls the target forward, which allows some interesting weapon ideas...

+This weapon only appears in the custom weapon tech demo campaign, but one day we might see more cool weapon ideas in proper campaigns!
