It's one of those things I'm not too clear on -- largely because of admins being individuals with opinions. I've seen people get yelled at for it. I've also seen it almost praised. Mostly yelled at though. That just goes for suicide bombing.
In a recent 'Is it okay to bomb antagonists?' thread there was this:
Now for me? I find it perfectly a-ok to pipebomb a genetically enhanced (SMES, Heatres, Xray, etc) superling that's armed to the tendrils with eguns. Otherwise it's just "Hey, let's all just give up and die." At least until he grabs an indysuit. RIP. That's when you have to rely on chemnerds, which is a kind-of fight OP with OP scenario.
Disconnected from all that: the idea itself? Yeah, I think it's perfectly reasonable for a suicide vest to work for suicides. Not much different than finding a russian revolver or eating a half-dozen lasers.

For the record, we don't care that you patched it up afterwards. It's still been sucking air out for over 2 minutes, it's likely to stay too cold and too thin in air for traversal.
This is a very thin line, I do realize. But you have to be absolutely sure you're not fucking anything or anyone up if you're going to go for bombing an antagonist, we understand that someone minmaxes it out far too bad occasionally - decide whether or not the consequences of messing up are worth it to you.
