Make weapons act as psuedo-jet packs?

I played a mod quite a while ago which had a flamethrower that was kinda like a jet pack. You could point in the opposite direction that you want to go, and shoot. Now I've been trying to recreate this on the xbox, but have had no luck so far, anyone know how to (or even remember the name of the mod?)

it might've just been the flamethrower's projectiles replaced with the gravity rifles...but i'm not sure...

alright well i've been messing around trying to get this to work, and I've gotten pretty close. What I did was make the AR shoot rockets, take away most of the damage, and make them explode a short way after you shoot it. It works OK but problems with this are:

1) Constant rumble and sound of rocket explosions get annoying

2) When the explosion hits it makes the MC turn sideways from the force, making the shots afterwords go crooked and stuff

Yeah, jetpacks would be great on Boarding Action...I remember I cranked the flamethrower's force up to 2000 and made it do no damage to try make one, but when the flames rebounded onto me I got thrown so violently across the map I died from the impact, hehe...

My leaf blower mod (see above post by me) was awesome, it had probably most of the info you would need, in fact at first it was meant to be a jet pack. But I deleted it and all I can remember doing was getting rid of its damage, and cranking the force right up... but I tried to replicate it just today and failed, dammit. I'll have to try again later, it was soooooo fun, if you've seen the kind of power Mono's nuke packs (forcewise), throwing 66-ton tanks around like toys, think what that would be like but 1000x stronger and concentrated...
PURE PWNAGE!
