Suggestion description
Are you ever in the streets, shooting at zombies with your best friend, only to find you're out of ammo and saying "Hey Karl, daaah, I don't have no bullets left and me knuckles are getting sore from punching, let's run away"?

No, Didn't think so, but all the same, I propose that to add a sense of realism, and inventory control, that we include the stocks of the pistol and the shotgun as weapons.

The Pistol would do the one damage less than the knife (1), and the shotgun would do the same for the fire-axe(2). Hit rates would also be the same as the respective brothers, and they would have their own training (Pistol Melee Training, Shotgun Melee training). Both would fall under the military skills, and both would upgrade as much as fire-axe and knife training.

This would make people who prefer fire-arms switch be able to drop their fire-axes and knives for a while until they wish to switch over to the more hard hitting weapons. This would also allow more inventory space for ammunition because you wouldn't need to carry a melee weapon around

Kill Votes

1. Kill This would basicaly make hand to hand weopons useless. The entire weopons setup is based on the Idea that guns are more dangerous but require more AP to spend finding ammo.--Seventythree 22:27, 20 August 2007 (BST)
2. Kill - I like the idea behind this, though it needs some more work. If you were to use ranged weapons in melee, there should be a chance to break those weapons - after all, they weren't made for pistol whipping every zombie you see. As well, the damage in this suggestion is just too high - sure it wouldn't feel good to get a pistol in the head... but getting a fire axed... well, let's just say a couple of Advil wouldn't solve the problem --Ryiis 22:56, 20 August 2007 (BST)
3. Kill - It would make melee weapons completely useless. --Nikitis 23:59, 20 August 2007 (BST)
4. Kill- Pointless. Sockem 00:31, 21 August 2007 (BST)
5. Change - Reduce the hit percentages as well and you have a deal. as is, it's too close to existing melee weapons to go through. --Thelightguy 01:52, 21 August 2007 (BST)
6. Kill - I'd rather have weapons to shoot with, and weapons to hack/whack with. Leave them separate. --_Ducis ^Dux_Sloth^Talk 02:12, 21 August 2007 (BST)
7. First of all the suggestion format sucks. Be concise. Secondly, as other said, people carry melee weapons for when they run out of bullets.--Pesatyel 03:15, 21 August 2007 (BST)
8. Kill - While, I like the idea of pistol whipping a zombie, damage and hit percentages need to be changed and the melee skills are unnecessary. --Sonofagun18 06:58, 21 August 2007 (BST)
9. Kill - Whacking does not sound fun. Use the Gun!--  Savant  Chit-Chat  09:21, 21 August 2007 (BST)
10. Kill - i'm pretty much liking the border betwean blunt weapons and firearms that exists in game currently --~~~~_T^''' 09:43, 21 August 2007 (BST)
11. Changeplz No. Lower hit percentage. Glenstone 09:54, 21 August 2007 (BST)
