so i'm thinking of merging the Lever Action Rifle with the Sport Rifle to make the sport action rifle or something, getting rid of 1b and merging the Carbine and Silenced Pistol into 1A
the new arrangement will probably be
> instant kill on headshots
> 7 rounds, all piercing
> perfect accuracy unless you start spamming shots: 500 minimum time between rounds
> slightly thinner body, model-wise
similarly the military rifle (will be changed to the Magnified Rifle eventually) will be updated to still be stronger then the Sport Rifle
> 90 damage regardless of where you hit
> "afterimage" tracer round that appears after you fire the raycast round that does 5 damage (15 on headshots!) that also pierces targets
> 6 rounds (interestingly)
> perfect accuracy unless you start spamming shots: 600 minimum time between rounds
i might also turn the Pistol into a standalone silenceable weapon: something along the lines of "right click to add silencer: increase accuracy, decrease damage": but that seems like a copout
wouldn't be available to dual-wielded pistols though
EDIT: oh, and of course, the Combat Shotgun will be worked on just a bit too. it's almost worthless currently as opposed to the other automatic weapons in the tier
i think i'm gonna go with what i was gonna do with the drum shotgun: click for a standard semi-auto shot, right click for two semi-auto shots with huge recoil, shake up the screen a bit, and include one random 'critical' bullet that does extra damage then the rest of the buckshot
you can compare the two firing modes to essentially what power there it has now, and a stronger pump shotgun
on a side note i seem to be obsessed with giving weapons crits. i wonder why that is
