20080807 Pistol Rename

Medico 15:06, 7 August 2008 (BST)

Suggestion type
Flavor change.

Suggestion scope
No-one dramatically.

Suggestion description
A really simple thing to do, just change the name of "Pistol" to "Revolver" and "Pistol Clip" to "Speedloader". Nothing in the way of mechanics, but easy to do. The news announcement;

"After many years of you calling it a pistol you take a good, hard look at the weapon in your hand or in the hand of the person next to you and notice it's actually a revolver"

Obviously not actually that, but Kevan is a smart bloke, he'll work it out.

Why?

Realism.

1. Keep Come on, it's mine! --Medico 15:08, 7 August 2008 (BST)

Kill Votes

2. Kill - Nope. Change it from Pistol to Handgun and Clip to Magazine and you have my vote. -- Cheese 15:26, 7 August 2008 (BST)

   I can't think of a normal handgun that carries a mere six rounds in the magazine. Even the Desert Eagle has seven, and they're .50C Express rounds.--Medico 15:30, 7 August 2008 (BST)

   What is the big problem with this suggestion anyway? Yes, you are informing us that you can call a revolver a pistol, but I put this to you all. What's the difficulty? He runs a quick search through the programming and replaces the word "pistol" with "Revolver". It nerfs nothing, it improves nothing, all it's doing is adding a sliver of extra realism in this world! --Medico 15:52, 7 August 2008 (BST)

   The problem is that it's entirely unnecessary. The word is already correct, so why change it? --Midianian^{|T|T:S|C:RCS|} 16:07, 7 August 2008 (BST)

4. Kill I'M sorry, but In my opinion you shot yourself down with this statement:"It nerfs nothing, it improves nothing, all it's doing is adding a sliver of extra realism in this world!" Rorybob 16:18, 7 August 2008 (BST)
5. Kill - It is a pistol! So what if it's a zombie-apocalypse-edition-pistol? It still is a pistol! ~Ariedartin • Talk • A KS J abt all 16:25, 7 August 2008 (BST)
