It’s really quite simple.
The geographic area covered in CM:BO lies directly in the migration path of the swallow. A goodly number of panzerfaust misses can be attributed to these birds snatching the incoming round in mid-flight. One has to remember that CM:BO is an abstraction, and although the birds are not graphically depicted in the game, they are present in the mathematical dance that is its underpinnings. While the presence of this phenomenon is widely known, an explanation for it is still hotly contested. The Royal Ornithological Society contends that these birds, flying to and from England, were drawn to pluck explosives out of mid air by a love of country and sense of duty to the crown. Many other avian experts assert that to a swallow, a panzerfaust round appears almost identical to a coconut. It is common knowledge that swallows love coconuts. Of course, the one question left unanswered by both of these theories is: In swooping away the panzerfaust round how does the swallow grip it?
