Stuff Shirts Into Riot Launchers - Kamikaze Mongoose - 01-18-2025
I was hanging clocks on the wall in my bathroom when I slipped and I was knocked out when I hit my head on the sink counter. When I woke up, it came to me: the ability to stuff t-shirts (or even entire outfits!) into the riot launcher. What if emagging them allowed more outfits or even for certain clothing items to even be worn on whoever it hits? Imagine launching a cluwne mask at someone's head!

tossing a whole clown outfit into it and instantly promoting the captain to the clown

While funny, I don't think the riot launcher should be used for it as security should have the "least funny options" in my opinion.
Let alone I fear it might have unfortunate side effects.
THAT SAID. We could make an "outfit" gun for antagonists and I would be totally fine.

I actually had a similar idea to this not too long ago, but as an Antag item for the staffie/clown/ etc.-adjacent gimmick roles: The T-Shirt cannon! Uses cloth as ammunition, but can also accept general clothing; it fires dumb looking t-shirts with ugly slogans that immediately replace the jumpsuit-layer on the victim. This also makes the victim's other clothing and pocket items to fall on the floor. (Think what happens when you remove your jumpsuit layer by accident). I personally think it works better as an antag purchase weapon, that way the grenade launchers aren't constantly clamored for by bored non-antags looking to goof off.

Honestly more crap should work with riot launchers
Potatos, confetti, lightbulbs

if you put the potato in a powerful enough launcher (like the MPRT or whatever order those letters are in) it fires them as french fries

What if instead of a whitelist, the normal version only fills unfilled slots and the emagged version will tear off clothing to make what it launches be worn?

if this gets added as an antag item, the influencer should definitely have access to it

This to me sounds like a lot of functionality for something that is a grenade launcher.
Making something like what other servers have, pneumatic cannons or similar would make more sense.
It's a great idea that definitely should have it's own item
