Currently, mostly lethal fire arms only does brute/burn damage, with the exception of the plastic bullets from the clock which deals like 5 stamina.
I believe lethal vs stuns combat would become more balanced if lethal fire arms also did some stamina damage, since currently let's say you are facing a security officer with a predator revolver, you might shot them twice and put them in crit, but if you exchanged bullets and they also hit you twice, you're stunned, your revolver on the floor, and because of how crit works, the officer might be able to pick up the revolver and further stun you with their baton, and call for help over the radio.
If lethals also did stamina damage, in this exchange both parties would be stunned, meaning you would get up and be able to pick up your revolver, if the officer screamed for help over radio, you would have time to run away or finish them off because you wouldn't have been batonned as both you and the officer were on the ground for the same amount of time.
I also believe it would be interesting if lethals did stamina damage because getting shot would make someone lose their footing a little, get some stammer and what not, maybe if not direct stamina damage, some sort of slowdown if you've been shot, or atleast high caliber weapons dealing stamina damage.
