Suggestion talk:20080501 The Tumbler Slug

Function VS Fashion

Another worthless, self important Tselita gun suggestion. Please stop pretending like you know what you're talking about. Shotgun slug rounds are horrifically inefficient for urban combat, they are most often used when big game hunting in the Serengeti, or when being used by a S.W.A.T. team to bust open a locked door in a raid. Furthermore, some slug rounds require a special rifling pattern or even a smooth bore barrel. Why don't you suggest something like being able to bedazzle & sticker your cel phones, or how about oven mitts. --#19 - DrPain ^TMG 18:43, 13 May 2008 (BST)

urban combat? When did this game become about house to house fighting? Where did long range weaponry become the norm in Malton?

Urban Dead is about zombie combat. Or indeed murdering people while they sleep on a regular basis. This inefficiency you mention, do you mean in searching? If not, care to explain?

And Im pretty sure bedazzling and oven mits would be spammed. If you want help working through those suggestions, theres a talk/suggestions page. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 22:53, 13 May 2008 (BST)

Not if you put the bedazzling in the humorous suggestions. Why we could even have Kevan include custom ring tones that play when you have a message. Oven mitts though could be seriously suggested on the clothing page. We already have adult diapers on there, so how far off would oven mitts really be? --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 22:56, 13 May 2008 (BST)

There you go Doc Pain. Another useful contribution to the wiki. Good for you.--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 23:04, 13 May 2008 (BST)

Akule, Rosslessness, I don't think he was making it as an actual humorous suggestion. He just has some sort of beef against the author (because the author's a girl maybe - I don't know) and so he voted kill and put the 'bedazzling' and oven mitts thing on because those are 'girly' things. He could have just as easily said tampons. --Rage 23:32, 13 May 2008 (BST)

I figured. I just thought I'd honestly answer how he could present both of those items to the community. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule School's back in session™} 23:37, 13 May 2008 (BST)

I also worked that out. sarcasm is hard to translate to paper isn't it? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 15:58, 14 May 2008 (BST)

I usually do a :/ afterwards when I'm being sarcastic. And btw, slugs are not all inefficient (though the tumbler slug is more inefficient accuracy-wise, which is why it has a lower accuracy rate on the stats - did you miss that part?). The efficiency of a slug depends on the type of slug. Foster slugs, Rottweill/Brenneke slugs, Balle Fleche Sauvestre Sledgehammer slugs, bolo rounds (2 slugs with a wire connecting them), etc. Which type of slug are you referring to? Feel free to look it up on wikipedia so you look like you know what you're talking about first. --Tselita 16:06, 14 May 2008 (BST)

By the way, shotguns are standard firearms for police officers, along with a .38 and a baton. The shotgun usually is kept in the car with a protective lock, at least in major cities. Not sure if Malton is a major city. --Rage 23:32, 13 May 2008 (BST)
