Hands in pockets gesture (with twist)

[Karmaterror 982]

OK sounds simple....and it is, I just want to be able to put my hands in my pockets....but heres the twist

 

You can do it with a pistol in your hand, then if you need to, produce the pistol in a fraction of a second.

 

This would be good for bandits and heroes alike. The bandits can convey friendliness and then draw on there unsuspecting target. Heroes can keep a pistol handy for if they do :)

 

PS think of the draw speed like that of raising your weapon from lowered. Maybe a touch longer.

 

Couple of additions based on comments...

 

1. only certain cloths can hold larger pistols, most would be the derringer.

 

2. Hands in pockets effects how fast you get cold (only slightly), this would stop people shooting anyone with there hands in there pockets as hiding a pistol would be its only use

I can see the pistol's disappearing complaints now.

This is not what I expected from the title.

 

I don't think I could fit my hand and a pistol in my trouser pocket, though. Maybe the Derringer.

That's true I made this after seeing the derringer "preview" from that untextured prison building shot, so that was the main inspiration. Maybe it could be poss with some cloths but not others. A hoodie with the big front pocket could do it with any pistol, bar the scoped one. But more standard coats/pants could only hold the derringer :)

Top hats instead?  You know for the gentlemen.

I'm prretty sure I could hide a m1911 in my beard.

Pinnacle arousal achieved.

I'm not quite sure what would be the point of this. Everybody would just shoot on sight anybody with their hands in their pockets, especially since the gesture serves no other purpose than to hide a pistol.

Oo

Perhaps only in certain pieces of clothing, with larger pockets?
Try putting your hand and a gun, in to a pair of jeans, and pull it out quickly, while aiming correctly :) Its difficult,i would imagine, if not impossible.

 

But maybe its alot easier in something like the hoodie, or the raincoat or something with large pockets.

 

Not a bad idea, and of course you should be able to stick your hands into any pants, when they are empty :)

That's true....maybe it could slow your temp decline slightly, and increase it slightly when out of pockets. Then most would do it making it a true lottery. In extreme cold weather taking off one glove is a way to regulate body temp so its not without precedent :)

 

EDIT - I knida like the weather thing now iv said it lol, but without it people could bluff. Don't unslig that rifle or I draw my pocket pistol (when they really don't have one). Could be a good tactic for fresh spawns meeting other fresh spawns even.

 

The other could call the bluff aswell...

 

"What pistol u got?"

"M1911"

"Lol inside just your jeans.....liar!"

*fist fight ensues*

:D

Removing something from your pockets... Impossible?

[byrgesen 1341]

Removing your hand, with the gun in it, from your pocket, before the other guy aims and shoots, is close to impossible to do in something like jeans.

Unless you are carrying around the smallest handgun money can buy of course.

 

Ohh and of course, if your a female, its impossible to get anything into the pants in the first place :) Thats why they carry around handbags lol, the designers where clever right there :P

I do not understand the last part. Why can females not carry things in their pants?

Because female pants, in the "western world" are so damn tight, they can barely get they're hand down into them, let alone something bigger.

Was trying to make a joke, but failed miserably, i see that now.  :blush:

I like it, you should be able to do it with knives and syringes filled with bleach too.

 

 

And I have pairs of jeans that I could easily fit pistols in. Though I'm not arguing that it should be possible, I just thought that was interesting.
