New Side Arm Sawed Off

[xximrtwoixx 104]

I would like to suggest that a new side arm be introduced, the sawed off shotgun.

1. Weapon would be *Very* loud, ala m104, I believe it is the loudest shotgun.

2. Weapon would have limited range, (Shorter barrel means less FPS)

3. Weapon would be inaccurate (shorter barrel)

4. Weapon would have very high muzzle climb (no Stock)

This weapon would be equipable as a sidearm and replace a handgun. It would be a sawed down version of the current double barrel.

I would actually vote for it replacing the double barrel because as a primary weapon the double barrel is quickly replaced by players for whatever else they can find.

If it replaced the double barrel 2 round shotgun shells could be added to side arm slots and when converted to 8 rounds they would move to main inventory slots. This would make ammo management easier and allow players using shotguns to actually pick up/convert the shells in the current system they aren't worth the 4 slots you have to leave open to convert them.

This would add greater weight to using a shotgun as the ammo would be very easy to obtain. This is very realisitic as ammo type should decide weapon choice in an apocalpytic scenario.

If the above changes would be impossible the weapon could simply use shells from the main inventory though I bet that could be messy as I imagine weapons are classed in the code.

LOL. I swear I was thinking about a sawed off shotgun a few hours ago. though I couldnt think of how the ammo would work, due to the fact I thought you should craft it from the DB shotgun.

I like this idea a lot more than mine. Id certainly take a sawed off as my sidearm, until I found dat PDW
