Suggestion description
I feel there is a big gap between Pistol and Shotgun, this weapon I'm suggesting will fill that gap by combining some of those weapons traits into a rifle, while not making those weapons useless. I'm not suggestion a perfect weapon, that can mow down 80 zombies with 50 ap, just something to bridge that gap.

Here it is, the rifle has base accuracy of [10%] and will follow the other weapon skill sets, giving it a max of 70% accuracy. Encumbrance is [8%] (more then the shotguns [6%]) because most rifles are heavier then a Double barrel shotgun. It can be found in the same places as the Shotgun and Pistol, with different find rates though, here are my suggested find rates Mall Gun store [2%], Police Departments [3%], and Armories [6%]. It can do 7 damage (6 damage to people wearing flak jackets) and operates just like a regular weapons. It holds 5 shots which are found in 5 round clips in all locations (Armories [6%], PDs' [3%], & Mall [1%]) with each clip at 3% encumbrance.

1. Keep I vote to keep because it will help balance the weapons, and help drive back the ZEDS. --Cap'n'cupcake 21:05, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

1. Dupe - Read Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested first, then take your next suggestions to Developing Suggestions. _■^■ 21:39, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
2. Spaduple - As above. --WanYao 23:00, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
3. Dupe/Spam - apart from the dupiness of this suggestion, new guns for surviviors are a bad idea in general. Why? Because they reduce your search and encumbrance efficiency. When searching you find ammo for weapons you may not want to carry around, basically forcing you to carry at least one of each weapon type. This specific suggestion is simply for a super-pistol anyway -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 23:18 20 December 2008 (BST)
4. Spam and Dupe - As above. And, any suggestion that aims to "help drive back the ZEDS" will get a spam from me, unless it offers something else to balance it out. This suggestion does not. --Pestolence^(talk) 23:23, 20 December 2008 (UTC) (GRR EDIT CONFLICT)
5. Dupe/Spam - Does way too much damage for the max accuracy, and what those people wrote above. --ZsL 00:44, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
6. Dupe/Spam - As above. --Papa Moloch 00:46, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
7. Dupe/Spam - As above. Try taking this to Developing Suggestions in future. Suggestions that don't go there nearly always end up spammed or duped. Linkthewindow  Talk  00:49, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
