Any one know?  I usually have rock swords and rotating saw blades in my traps for the limbs... but I wonder if hammer traps would cause invaders to fly around.  Perhaps into my 20z level deep pit that surrounds my entrance...

[G-Flex]

They knock body parts around, that much is for damn sure. Once a weapon trap knocked a goblin's head up one z-level onto the top of a nearby wall, a few tiles over.

Not sure about corpses themselves, though.

[Xehon]

Don't think so. I mean, which way should they be knocked back? The trap is at the same spot as the victim. I've never witnessed anyone surviving(or not) being knocked back either.

[Footkerchief]

Nope, but they probably will at some point.

A while back I played around with traps, and it appears that any type of trap can cause parts, corpses, or bodies to fly around. you just have to have enough items of high quality good materials in them. (10 =Large Serrated Steel Discs= per trap and the mayhem is absolutely hilarios.) I have witnessed gobo sigies end when the first guy hit the traps, and splattered the entire countryside. one limb flew 40+ tiles and several zs in a wild and bloddy arc. I had a head that traveled down a 20 tiel coridor and exploded at the end and covered 9+ tiles in bloody goo.

I usuall make 10 =Large Serrated Steel Discs= per trap and have a trap corridor that is 5 wide and 20 long with =Mechanisms= or better.

Actually i asked the very same question too, some time ago. I built the traps nonetheless, but i was never sieged in the game again until i abandoned it due to boredom (a frequent problem lately)

Yeh, i prefer the discs in my traps too. They are funnier albeit/because messier! I just hope green glass is enough to have the desired splatter effect.
