Sidearms in packs

[zackthazman 23]

The sidearms should take up less space than 10 slots maybe like 5 or something because they are much smaller than a m4 or something.

I hope this is a troll....

I think sidearms should take less space and primaries should take more, or not be packable. It's silly that I can carry eight ghillie suits, but not two makarovs in a patrol pack, and it's totally absurd that I can cram two AS50s in an ALICE pack. I'd say a secondary should take two slots max, no more than an M240 belt takes. Even one slot, like a hatchet, wouldn't be amiss. Pistols are small, dude. Smaller than canteens, even.

Inventory's kind of weird anyway. Standalone might fix it.

I agree fully, and as a side note, I'll never understand how you can pack a helicopter rotor assembly in your bag.

But more to the point, I think a secondary weapon should only take up 2 slots and primary weapons shouldn't be packable. I don't see how a shotgun or even DMR can fit in a bag with room to spare.

How about holsters? Can be crafted or made. Allows you to hold you're pistol. you can have 2 of them for 2 pistols!
