Hey guys, just thought I'd suggest this since .9 is getting closer and closer

What if we could give breaching charges to US forces in .9? We already have a way to breach doors, with the shotgun, but instead of having to shoot the doorknob off the door, just stick a breaching charge to the door, or tie some det cord around the doorknob. Just something that will suppress the enemy inside, instead of having a dude with a shotgun blow the doorknob off, the some guy standing behind him throw a frag, then wait five seconds before the frag goes off to enter the room, you could just have your specialist, (which is the class I suggest giving the breaching charges to) breach the door, the enemy on the inside would be suppressed, and you could properly clear the room. Now I'm not saying that the breaching shotgun is unrealistic, and I'm not saying its not used in the real military either, because it is, but more often then not breaching the door with explosives is a much easier way of clearing a room of enemy combatants. And I don't think that making breaching charges would be to hard either, since we already have a way to blow open doors, just use the same effect, but you have to put a charge on the door instead.

Any input?

Thanks,
Brick

1. its normally good to provide sources when saying a military use a certain equipment, because as far as i know the shotgun is the most common form of breaching for the standard solider.


2. even if this is a good suggestion, it wont be in .9. its not a simple process adding something to the game and with .9 being releases in the coming weeks i highly doubt it will make the cut, should it be implemented.

A lot to carry for the specialist, the charges takes place in your inventory and you couldn't carry a lot of them, but the shotgun is just a shells and the shotgun itself to carry..

"Don't fix things that works" was once said
Would be cool though.

we use water breachs's at my unit. Just some c4 det cord and a bag of saline.

Shotguns are far more common in Iraq and Astan. The buildings there are so crudely built that if you used explosives to break doors you have a very good chance of taking the entire building down. Though they are used in some cases.

However this is a resuggestion. Search before you post please.
