Finchtastic 50 Posted October 21, 2014 Oh the irony. Sure, you can look at it like that. But another thing I learned when I was 5 was not to start arguements, but when people start with you, standing up for yourself is justified. I've said it once and I'll say it again. If you don't agree, then you can simply say why instead of telling me how terrible my idea is. Even on your post you provided no reasoning, just another baseless opinion. I couldn't care less if people don't like the idea, it's only an idea. But just coming here to talk shit isn't constructive. Coming onto someones thread to belittle them and having nothing of value to add the conversation is nothing but being a troll. Sure, I guess I'm guilty of feeding them...That's my bad. But still, I at least gave reasons why it would fit. I've yet to see a real reason why it wouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeefBacon 1185 Posted October 21, 2014 I've yet to see a real reason why it wouldn't. It's impractical. A lot of posts have said that. It's also, apparently, not used by anyone anywhere in the world except for maybe the Spetsnaz, and that's a knife that fires a bullet, not a gun that fires a knife which seems to be antithetical to your original post which described firing a knife and picking it up off of the body. This is what people are saying. You gloss over it and say "that's just all baseless opinion. If you don't have anything constructive to say then don't bother posting" which to me sounds like "don't post if you don't agree with me" which is daft.

Again, I don't mind if people disagree, but I mind when people come in here being belligerent and rude. Also, "I don't like it, it's impractical" isn't a reason, it's a baseless opinion. WHY is it impractical and what would YOU suggest for something outside the game already? See how that would lead to a discussion? The key here is to be constructive, very little of this thread actually has been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The key here is to be constructive, very little of this thread actually has been. A gun that shoots knives. I shouldn't have to explain why that is impractical. What I would suggest to be implemented into the game is irrelevant because I don't necessarily have something to suggest, and if I do have something to suggest it isn't necessarily related to ballistic knives or even weaponry in general. Just because I'm not suggesting something else it doesn't make my points any less valid. You have yet to respond to any of the points raised, you just paint dissent as 'unconstructive' which is unconstructive. That no professional organisations in the world use guns that fire knives? No response. That the only weapon that could be considered a ballistic knife, in use by an organisation, is the direct opposite of what you suggested be implemented has also not been addressed.

A gun that shoots knives is neither a gun, nor what I am talking about. It is a normal knife, like many other knives, it's just weighted and spring loaded in case you need to get the job done from a slight distance (in a fight with an axe weilder, for instance). I don't really see how it could be impractical as it would serve the same purpose as any knife, but can be used more effectively in close combat than a normal knife.

arlingtine 27 Posted October 21, 2014 I agree that the balistic knife is impractical. Even with the force of a regular stab the chance of killing someone instantly is pretty much zero. Never mind being stabbed by a blade thrown by a spring that probably doesnt even strike point first. NOt to mention that you just shot your blade and are now unarmed. Why would the devs waste their time on a weapon like that when there are so many usefull tools out there that coyld be implemented instead. For example the lockpicks that are being added. Or things to use the tools that are already in game for like the wrench or pliers. I think if u like the balistic knife from cod that much you should just play cod. It just wouldnt work like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
