Is it possible to kill an enemy in Valorant by throwing your gun?

Riot Games’ 5V5 tactical shooter title allows its players to pick up guns from the ground or fallen foes or allies’ bodies. Guns are an essential part of the game as you have to kill your opponents to secure the win. Hence, purchasing the most lethal weapons in a match is crucial. The gun types in this title include Sidearms, SMGs, Shotguns, Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Machine Guns.

While playing the game, if you throw a gun at an opponent, they will simply pick the gun up if they don’t have any primary weapons in possession. When the adversary has a weapon and you throw a gun at them, the weapon will simply fall on the ground dealing no damage to them. Because throwing guns at the enemies does not inflict any damage on them, you simply cannot kill any adversaries by doing so. Therefore, you can do so for fun, but strategically you should not throw your weapons at the opponent.
