Sorry for resurrecting this but I think it's needed. For the sake of this discussion, I will be calling the current in game "axe" a hatchet. I don't see how this, or the axe is overpowered. If there were two axes, a full sized axe and a hatchet, I would easily understand keeping a full sized axe as a primary weapon. A full sized axe should probably be a one hit kill. The hatchet's damage is currently fine. How is this not over powered? Well, if you've ever tried to kill someone with the hatchet in game, then you know it's still a pain in the butt. The hatchet's range is very limited. At the range you have to be to hit someone, the target can "spay and pray" and has a very good chance of killing you first. This is after the fact that you have to close the gap to get to that point. Closing that gap while not being seen and/or heard is not an easy task. The few times I have killed with the hatchet, I actually died before they bled to death. Beyond the above, I've also heard some say that the hatchet's damage is over powered. I disagree. In real world terms, a hatchet blow to the head would likely be an instant kill. A hatchet blow to the body is likely also a death sentence without IMMEDIATE medical attention. No amount of medical attention will save someone with multiple hatchet blows to the abdomen. Hatchet sheaths that attach to the belt and/or outer thigh are made. There's no reason that a hatchet couldn't take the place of a pistol, or be on the opposite side of the pistol to be used as an additional weapon. Oh.... can we make the hatchet throwable as well?
