I like the net, but I dont like the part about dropping items.
(unless you can code it to only drop large items, but not small ones, I.E. the .38 wouldn't be dropped, but an oxy tank would)
This could function like throwable shackles. (Yeah I mean the prison shoes + handcuffs variety.)
If you land your throw, they're "netted" and move slower until remedied.
(you may need to fight while in the net to get a good chance to remove it, try tazing your enemies or other stuns for a moment to get free)
Use the same code for removing handcuffs for removing the net, i.e. must hold still but only takes 2-3 seconds to remove.
(between shoddy construction, haste, and your free handedness, you quickly escape)
Alternatively use wirecutters/scissors/etc for insta-escape.
Or, you could always make this function like a pie to the face, except instead of being blinded you are unable to move
(but automatically spend the time unable to move getting free of the net, same duration as pie in face)
These nets should be 1 time use once they snare an opponent, shouldnt be spammable and the part where they are easy to make should balance this. Perhaps allow storage in backpacks and toolboxes but not belts.
This whole idea could also be substituted, or reinforced with bolas (those thrown weapons with 2 rocks with a wire between them for binding legs) if any component of the netting doesn't feel right but the general idea does.
I sure like the net idea myself.
