Suggestion scope
Survivors with emty pistol or shotgun
Suggestion description
once you run out of ammo in a shotgun or a pistol you could use them as a weapon themselfs, a pistol would be the same as aknife except it wouldnt benifit from knife combat, a shotgun would be the same as a axe except it wouldnt benifit from axe proficiency, so it would look like this

Pistol
damage: 2

Starting skill:
accuracy: 20%
damage per AP: .4
to kill 50 HP enemy: 125 attacks

With Hand to Hand combat:
accuracy: 35%
damage per AP: .7
to kill 50 HP enemy: 74 attacks

Shotgun
damage: 3

Starting skill:
accuracy: 10%
damage per AP: .3
to kill 50 HP enemy: 170 attacks

With Hand to Hand combat:
accuracy: 25% damage per AP: .75 to kill 50 HP enemy: 68 attacks

so as you can see its not really the ideal weapon but it allows you to finish off an enemy if you run out of ammo and they dont have much HP left, and its just a cool new move

1. keep author vote, and sorry about the multi, im in a completly different timezone and still trying to get use to urban dead time zone->Schizoidgull 01:54, 8 June 2008 (BST)

Kill Votes

1. Kill - Implausible. Neither weapon is remotely suitable for combat apart from their use as a firearm. --Pgunn 09:11, 8 June 2008 (BST)

Spam/Dupe Votes

1. Dupe/spam - slightly different numbers, same idea. Anyway, carry a fire axe (or your choice of melee weapon) for those times when you run out of ammo. It doesn't take up much space -- boxy ^{talk • i} 02:46 8 June 2008 (BST)

   Re:i know it isnt a good weapon but whats the point of all yhe other weapons that arent strong, and to a new person its just as strong as a knife or axe would be _{Unmarked comment struck}

2. Dupe - As the boxy.  Billy Club Thorton  T!  RR  06:30, 8 June 2008 (BST)
3. Dupe - As boxy. No significant differences. --The Grimch ^{U! E! WAT!} 09:15, 8 June 2008 (BST)
4. Dupe - As boxy. --Aeon17x 09:49, 8 June 2008 (BST)
5. Spam - Did you even read what I put on the discussion page? It has been suggested before. The problem with it is that it nerfs all melee weapons. Why carry a melee weapon weighing 2% to 6% AND a pistol (4%) or shotgun (6%) when the pistol/shotgun can do the same thing and that 2% to 6% you WOULD have had to carry for the melee weapon can go to additional ammo.--Pesatyel 10:04, 8 June 2008 (BST) And, I might add,why did you bother putting this on the discussion page if you weren't going to actually discuss it? All I did was copy what I wrote there over to here.--Pesatyel 10:23, 8 June 2008 (BST)
6. dupe - i concur with boxy --Scotw 10:53, 8 June 2008 (BST)
