With that clarification I like that a lot. Just one thought, as
most of the numbers have multiple weapons, wouldn't it fit to put
the chainsaw with the flamethrower?

The Glock 19 can also be converted, paralegally, into an
autofiring
weapon by filing down the trigger break. I don't know how to do
it,
but I think it's funny, in a sort of scary way.
As for the weapons stuff, what I essentially invisioned in my
post was.
1: melee weapons
2: Pistols
3: Shotguns
4: Scoped Rifles
5: Submachineguns (essentially somewhere between a pistol and an
automatic rifle, usually not held one handed but can be in a
pinch,
carbine length or shorter, 6: battle rifles/assault rifles (the
difference being the size of bullet fired as both are automatic),
7:
flamethrower (although I suggest that as a precaution against
poluting
the environment even further with fire and toxins, the benzine be
removed from the fuel, essentially making the device a gasoline
shooting, flame on, water gun), 8: Chainsaw, 9 or 0: Light
Machineguns
(machineguns are light, medium, or heavy, and this applies not
only to
weight but to size of ammunition and amount carried, with light
usually carried by specially trained infantry), 0 or hyphen:
minigun
(Actually, the minigun is probably a medium machinegun, meaning
it
could be carried in emergencies but is probably best used in
emplacements. Occasionally, mediums are vehicle mounted.)
Actually, if we were going to follow my idea, I suggest strongly
that
the minigun, for several reasons listed below, be changed to fire
.45
ammo, which should I think be the same price as 9mm, because both
are
very popular and quite old. The .45 ACP cartridge fires the
largest
bullet in swamp so far, which would make it perfect for a medium
machinegun. Also, because the 7.62, if we followed my idea, would
be
used by the M-40 sniper rifle in Option 4, AK-47/M-14 battle
rifle in
secondary option 6, the M-60 in option 9 or 0, and the minigun in
option 0 or hyphen. That makes four users of 7.62MM, the most
expensive bullet in the game at four reputation a bullet to
purchase.
Since the minigun fires an ungodly number of these little guys,
it's
about 1200 rep to fill it up. If .45 ACP was used, and if it was
the
same price as 9MM is now, which I think is 24 reputation, the
minigun
could be filled for I think about 620, about half the price.
I'll end on this note. I don't know what Kai is doing right now.
I
know that, so far, Kai and Jeremy have been a great team, and I
hope
that my occasional criticisms haven't made either one sore at me.
If
what's happened so far is any indication, there's a lot of good
stuff
to look forward to.

Yes, I'd love to see the Mac 10. This handgun can, though
illlegally, be
converted into a fully automatic weapon which fires, I kid you
not, 32.5
rounds per second. That would put t on a par with the minigun!

Hello Gamers, and Jeremy Kaldobsky in particular.
I was thinking about some things, having played Swamp 1.9 for a
little
while. We are now at the point where many weapons options are
possible. What I mean by that is that, for example, we could
have
pistol options.
We now have nothing that uses .45 ACP, so it has been removed
from
play. However, there are weapons ranging from the standard
m-1911
pistol to the Mac-10 and similar submachineguns that could use
.45
ACp.
But we already have the Glock 19 and the MP5, or so you might
say.
However, we could still bring this into play, without limiting
functionality. It would involve rearranging some things and
changing
another, but I get the inspiration from the way things were once
in
Swamp anyway, so it shouldn't be a surprise to any but the
newest
players.
When Jeremy first provided the silencer option for the pistol,
it was
accessed by pressing the number 2 twice. It, in effect, loaded
another
weapon file into play, the file for the silenced pistol. I
suggest
that we could have multiple options under a category by this
method,
so we could have the Glock 19, which uses 9MM and the, I think
it's
Springfield m-1911 or anything else that uses .45 ACP. You could
access the Glock 19 by pressing the number 2 one time, and the
Springfield by pressing it again, or if switching from another
weapon,
by pressing it twice. Also, I'm sure it would be possible to do
that
if the character only had one of those pistols, pressing the
number 2
would go straight to it, no matter whether it was the Glock or
the
Springfield.
Brief list of rearrangements and additions:
Press 1:
Axe or Machete. Machete has a faster rate but less overall
damage)
Press 2:
Glock 19 using 9MM or Springfield M-1911 which uses .45 ACP.
There's
no reason that both couldn't be suppressed, although they'd
require
different suppressors. The .45 should, I feel, have less range,
be
louder, and do more damage.
Press 3:
Browning Citori or Benelli, both using shotgun shells.
Press 4:
Winchester using 5.56 MM or M40 using 7.62MM.
Press 5:
MP5 using 9MM or Mac-10 using .45 ACP. I suggest that they could
also
be suppressed, but Mac-10 has shorter range and is louder.
Press 6:
AR-15 using 5.56 or AK (47 or otherwise) which uses 7.62.
Someone has
already done what appears to be an outstanding job of making an
AK-47
sounding rifle in one of the weapons mods in the Swamp shared
Dropbox
folder under the weapons.zip "Assault" folder. Alternatively,
the m14
Battle Rifle could be used.
Press 7:
Flamethrower, would use fuel and would be so awesome. Zombie
Survivors' Guide says no, but I say barbecued dead-head.
Military
flamethrowers could be called the M-2, but flamethrowers are
surprisingly, and scarily, easy to build at home. I could build
one,
and I know very little about pipes and such.
Press 8:
Chainsaw which uses fuel.
Press 9:
I can't think of anything, although we could just move the next
category back one.
Press 0:
M60 which uses 7.62MM or M-249, I think it is, SAW (Squad
Automatic
Weapon) which uses 5.56MM.
Press Hyphen:
Vulcan Minigun which uses 7.62MM like a beast.
I have recommended that the Winchester and m-40 be combined
here,
rather than separated as they were, both to save space on the
number
row for future weapons and because their functions are similar.
Also, be aware that 9MM and 5.56MM are both used thrice, with
.45 ACP,
shotgun shells, and fuel being used twice.
This is another one of my trademark long e-mails, so I beg
pardon and
hope you all made it through.
Happy Killin'.
