Could be fixed by making ADS slightly more accurate. Beanbag rounds are little lead pillows, so its not like missing a taser shot. If you missed it's more than likely because you suck at aiming lol. In my opinion it wouldn't make any sense for Big Oil Co to have access to as non-lethal weapons racket either.

I mean if a double barrel shotgun can be on your back, why can’t a beanbag shotgun? I’m not trying to mirror real life.

Bean bag rounds can kill or maim someone. So if civs can use/access them specific regulations can and should apply. Like only being able to use it on private property or requiring to show ID. And obviously brandishing them would still have a legal penalty. Slightly changing the functionality of pre-existing mechanics would make more sense than giving civs access to a beanbag shotgun. Like making it so where if you smack someone with a gun or a baseball bat it stuns them for a second like the baton.

I agree with everything you say but the bean bag shotgun should be able to shoot longer than just across the street. And it’s not accurate/scoped so if the person is running zigzags then it’s pretty hard to shoot. As per rackets and what not I have no idea. Maybe since they are legal, we can let the Oil factions sell them.

why is nobody talking about Kira Smirnov

we live in america +1

Toss up between Caboose and 4lights, 2 baddies imo

+1 for freaky cuffs tho

Beanbag shotgun's 1. Knocking somebody over is extremely over powered, especially in a situation where such a device would be practical whether its a cop or conflict situation 2. What sense does it make for civilians to openly carry around a beanbag shotgun? 3. How far of a distance? Only way I see this being balanced is if it can only reach like across the street. ------------------------------------ Pepper Spray 1. Aim should matter when using pepper spray, a body shot should not impair your vision. Should be headshots only. 2. The lingering effect wouldn't be terrible, but would have to be pretty short and a small linger area. 3. A limit of 3-4 uses before it runs out is pretty fair but should have a slight cooldown in between sprays if it causes a lingering effect. ------------------------------------ There would be no real reason that civilians need a beanbag shotgun. Maybe pepper spray but where would you get it? If its a racket, would civs have access to it? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them to. It would have to be added something like a light weapons racket that has things like pistols and melee weapons rather than its own separate racket. Maybe then I could see it being somewhat plausible. Even if only cops had them, both items would have to do actual damage so normal pk and escalation rules apply in cop and conflict situations. While both of these are non-lethal, they still do damage like a baton does. Being shot by a beanbag round isn't like being shot with a rubber bullet, you can fracture/break bones, and cause other serious injuries. And obviously pepper spray burns your eyes and throat. ------------------------------------ Overall, I don't hate the idea of either of these. They would just have to being incorporated in such a way where it doesn't give the user unfair advantages. I really only see beanbag weaponry being used by law enforcement. Pepper spray on the other hand might have actual civilian use if its done properly. Edit: The main issue/reason I see people saying add other non-lethal alternatives is because tasers can be a lil weird sometimes. My answer to that is get good or maybe add a stun gun that you have to make contact with like the baton.

you aren't owed anything, those reviewing the PK appeal can simply search the date of the orders being written, and then the date of you leaving the faction

I’d like proof that they were written months ago please, cause why wait so long to do it? You will sit here and talk down on me all day about how I acted yet you can’t provide any evidence or even say how I “harmed allied relations” or any of the other yap you wrote up. You know it’s bull shit just as well as I do you’re just trying to cover your ass.

it is my belief that leaving you alive with the knowledge you know on that character is a risk to the faction given your past behavior, your lack to uphold your oath as a soldier, and failure to sufficiently complete the duties handed to you. the orders were written months ago, just were never carried out until now

Honestly kinda mess with this but can be easily abused. If there is a way to make them non-abusable I think they would be amazing to have. The satire ones are funny +1

So my question for you is right, when did you write the orders? Because I was enforcer then force retired given retired roles still played on the character occasionally then got my roles taken for no reason other than I was given “conflict of interest” as if my main faction has any involvement in your current conflict. So were the orders written before or after I unwhitelisted. Because if it was after then why’d you wait so long? If you were so annoyed by me not paying that you wanted to kill me why not do it 2 months ago? Because as of rn this is the only reasoning on that pk you’re backing up. I’ve asked for proof of any of the other things yet you just ignore it?

I agree that less lethal options should be introduced, but not because the taser is too ineffective- If you have a reticle and just slightly shoot ahead of the target then the taser is not too bad. Though there’s no harm in adding a little bit of spice. It SHOULD NOT be limited to PD either, available to everyone because they are non-lethal. (Obviously if used against cops or fear-rp situations then normal rules would apply and you’d get pk’d, and regular server rules apply such as ARDM/RDM/NITRP). Cadet’s and Probationary Officers can train on them too, ensuring they are up to NYPD standards before moving up to the rank of Officer. To balance things out, you could also add pro’s and con’s to each piece of equipment. Maybe it can be a new racket? Possibly for legal factions only. Beanbag shotguns Pro’s - 1. Knocks down whoever you shot for a short time. (like /fallover1) 2. Can be open-carried (duh it’s non lethal) 3. It’s a slug, so the range should be pretty good. Con’s - 1. Would have orange or some colour representing it’s just a bean bag shotgun. 2. It’s a slug, so your aim has to be good. 3. It’s a pump shotgun, and re-chambering a round takes slightly longer than usual. 4. It’s a separate firearm, you cannot use regular shotgun ammo or have another primary equipped with it. Pepper Spray Pro’s - 1. Temporarily impairs the vision of the target. (Like a Brown’s Blended Bourbon but worse). This can be used as an alternative to a taser; as you don’t need to be too accurate and is quicker to deter criminals from starting shootouts. Usually when a cop pulls out a taser and he’s alone it’s GGs. 2. Good to give to newbies that don’t have licenses for firearms to slightly give them an edge getting away from muggers or general situations that require them to run away. Con’s - 1. It’s a mist that lingers for a very short period of time; the user could accidentally pepper spray himself or other officers. 2. Has a limit on how many times can be used. Maybe 3-4 sprays until it’s empty. SATIRE Pink fluffy handcuffs. I mean just imagine walking the “tough guy” back to PD in pink fluffy handcuffs. No matter what he says, no one will take him seriously. K9’s. Have a staff member occasionally switch to a dog model. Can be faster, and can sniff drugs, firearms or explosives. I know Monaclu would be down to do this. Water Cannons. Put it on a bearcat and just flush everyone away.

Susan is 100% the baddest

you didn't pay your kickups during this time, as you admit here. you shouldn't go into a position knowing you have a conflicting schedule, and are unable to meet the requirements of your position

my favorite is @yort but only when he wears the striped thigh highs

Mandy Shores

there is no delay just distance geez do you even know what ur saying +1

perhaps you still have a skill issue

Obviously Ruby! @Charles

prolly jj

Ask snorky/pungun, I bet he could tell you.

it just takes a bit of finess to understand its delay, but as adam said skill issue. You just need to practice. -1
