Rubber bullets.

I think alot of people has seen or done this. When you spot a civilian and he starts running, you draw out the restrainer and he is running around throwing stones in your face while 4 ppl in your squad is chasing him like hell. This leads either to an ambush or someone is just having a great time pissing you offfffff! :twisted: ;-)

So my porposal is that all officers should have a rubber bullet rifle to knock the Civi down and when he is done you go ahead with the restrainer. This way you dont have to kill him and hear all the complaining nor get your men into an ambush.

ARWEN 37 would be the rifle we are looking at if you are still reading.
Anti Riot Weapon ENfield. One rifle would contain of atleast 2 mags. Thats around 10 bullets.

Any thoughts?

The rifleman specialist shotgun can already do that to him.

I think it is fine the way it is. If you add more people able to arrest then the civi class will just be gone for good.

Well it won't knock him down but you can kill him with it without getting punished

Well my point is to knock him down and restrain him. Not to kill him without getting punished :P

good idea
+1

no doubt arwen37 is a nice piece of metal, but do military forces really use that? we had to find someone to model/skin that...do we want to wait another year for that one to come into 0.95? there is an easier way to realize rubber bullets in game since there is a lot of rubber bullet systems around..my favorite is that one, simple but effective:

its just a rubber coated steel cap one can mount on the barrel of m16/m4....give 6 of them to a rifleman specialist (or any other kit that has spare slots) and enjoy the hunting! not much effort needed... the animation looking similar to the bayonette animation could take some of devs time...but i think it's worth trying

You can't code it to just make somone fall down.

Plus its highly unrealitic right now with civilians just getting arrested at all

This is in game in the way the devs could code it. We do have a less lethal shotgun, though the effect is not good due to engine limitations.

forget it, already suggested.


Its a no go, and would kill off the civilian kit forever.
