To place a satchel (pipebomb) the syntax is:
OFP: unitname Fire ["put", "pipebomb"]
ArmA: unitname Fire ["pipebombmuzzle", "pipebombmuzzle", "pipebomb"];
The triggering is done via a "TOUCHOFF" action. - Posted on February 2, 2007

- In OFP v1.96, when a man class unit is given this command, he will aim up in the air before firing his weapon. This makes it rather useless if you want to make him shoot a target. It does work with vehicles, when the vehicle is first given a doWatch or doTarget command.

- In ArmA v1.02, this command is not working with weapons in the secondary turrets (like "DSHKM" in t72)

- Sometimes AI won't shoot when you use this command. It can be fixed by placing selectWeapon command before it.
