The cops who go after vandals usually do it in a superserious way. It's the guys who strip you and give you 2:30 for stealing a jetpack.
It's pretty rare for some cop to use these arrest for interrogations that are fun for both him and the prisoner. Once -I was a traitor though- I pretended to be deaf after throwing flashbangs at flarearms and led him into an overly long but funny questioning written on paper.
Or to quickly round up a couple of people in the brig for a prison wrestling match, or anything that requires some imagination and er pee. Most rounds people are just dicking about anyway, anything thst spices up a round is welcome.

But most cops just give you 2:30 and leave.

shitty people will be shit no matter what item is available, and they will more than likely be removed pretty quick!!
it's not like they can dispense those awful wooden police batons or TK serums, they still have to do their job properly as well

DrivetimeMozol Wrote:I haven't seen the sec vending machines lately so I don't know exactly what's in them, but I think if sec is using revolvers there should be limited lethal ammo. Like 4 speed loaders per vending machine. I honestly wouldn't want each sec officer having enough ammo to kill >3 people. At least this way the shitty sec man that shoots the guy to death who just stapled him won't have as much ammo to take on a real threat.

Also I think that sec shouldn't use revolvers, just detective should. Maybe they could use a more modern looking p226 that holds 7-8 rounds (I don't know guns) that's also a bit weaker? Imo it fits with the job and their other gear better.

I like this. Make them HAVE to always cock the gun before firing. That way there is a warning that shit is going down and just plain coolness factor.

epicdwarf Wrote:If you have to cock every time and the weapons has the potential to jam, what is even the point of using the gun? That said, the glock idea is good. How about we make the player cock the weapon right after every reload and include a burst setting with a 30% chance of jamming.

Zadeon Wrote:Of course, the stereotypical idea that you ALWAYS have to cock a gun after reloading. They don't work like that. They have a slide lock that unlatches when you reload, automatically cocking the gun. That's why the slide stays back when you fire out a whole mag. What WOULD be cool is if the sprite changes to the slide being back when it's empty so that you know for sure if a gun is loaded or not. Then to load it you put a mag in and release the slide lock by clicking it, still giving that extra step to loading it.
