It seems that applying <Flag>sticky</Flag> to a weapon's projectile can cause the game to crash randomly when the projectile sticks to a vehicle. It also creates bizarre problems with vehicle physics, causing them to shoot into the ground or jerk around in the air when the projectile attaches. Unfortunately, applying <Flag>detonate on vehicle collision</Flag> to the projectile still doesn't stop the random crashing. What is the cause of this, and can it be fixed?

If I had to guess this is all Havok related. The jerking around and shooting to the ground sounds very Havok-ish to me. Crashing during something like that sounds like something down in Havok as well. Your best bet is to attach a mod and hopefully someone will play with it in debug and try to fix the crashing.
The weapon that this occurs with is called "AHHHHH!", accessible in the melee weapons menu and named "feargun" in the table files. It fires a sticky projectile with a harmless explosion which causes NPCs to start screaming and running around uncontrollably when attached to them (as if they were stuck with an explosive). It looks hilarious, but the random crashing when shooting a vehicle accidentally is not so funny. Hopefully someone there is kind enough and has the free time to debug this problem!
