Shooting gun out players hands.

[andrewmont 91]

As simple as it says shoot a gun and player will drop it and obviously the gun will be damaged to whatever realistically would happen.

EDIT: Emphasis on the damage part, I know it wouldn't flawlessly fall out the players hand hence why that was put in, I just wasn't sure exactly what would happen and what variables (ie: type of gun, bullet and distance) that might effect the outcome. I'm not saying this as an idea so people can run about shooting guns out each others hands it was just a thought that if you do by chance hit someone's gun then it would surely not be in their hands anymore and probably broken.

A new level of griefing will be born.

As a mod, I don't think this could work. But maybe in the standalone, diarming people/shooting weapons out of peoples hands could work :D

You'd also rip the man's fingers off, the gun could fragment into pieces, launching metal shards at the user's face.

Why not just shoot them?

But what happens when you run out of Ap points for VATS?

Basically what really happens, mythbusters even did a thing on it and watched as metal flew into the placeholder of a human. He dead.

I want a warning shot that shoots their cap off.

[enforcer1975 1111]

I want a repeat key on my gun like in "The Fifth Element". Of course you would need to hit with the first shot :D

Yeah intended for the stand alone really :) from what I know there is very little they can do till the stand alone in way of suggestions/features.

Surely this depends on the gun? Some are sturdier than others.

Nah just want as many game mechanics that are still realistic in this game as possible.

I'm not saying you'd try to shoot the gun out there hand but in a firefight there is a good chance you'll hit their gun then the consequences of that could be implemented.

You can do this in Red October.

Hello there

Whilst the original suggestion is a little "hollywood" (although it can and does happen, just check youtube and afghanistan), there should be a chance that when shot one drops the weapon due to shock/impact/pain, but it should be a low random chance.

Its' already been implemented in some Arma mods.

It's not very realistic. It's just as retarded as reading about police shooting a suspect on the run and all those people up in arms "Oh, why didn't they just shoot him in the leg?"

They don't because it's not a safe shot, center mass is where it's at if you wanna take someone or something down. Try shooting center mass on a moving target, at a distance, then try shooting a comparatively small arm or leg, heck you even want to shoot the hand itself.

It's possible but not realistic.

How is it not realistic? Yes exactly you'd likely be shooting at centre mass so surely in doing so there's a good chance you'd hit their gun. I'm not saying that everyone's gonna start shooting the gun out people's hand but that the gun is there and if it gets shot that would have a consequence. When you shoot someone you'll be hitting maybe a vital organ, it's not that you aimed for it but bullets are many and there's a good chance they'll hit them. It's the exact same thing, I haven't at all in this post said it's likely people would aim for it and hit it. I don't know why people are assuming that.
