Title: The chute hand gun
Post by: JB35 on October 24, 2004, 09:29:16 PM
If I remember correctly HT said at the con that all he had to do was enable the Handgun to make it operational .

I may be wrong on this , but wouldnt it be kinda neat to be able to shoot it at Planes flying near you or trying to shoot you while you fall from the sky ?

Just a suggestion. :D

System: Rino offs himself with .45 rather than walk back to base

But you're right Jb, they said something about making it operational.

God knows what you shoot with it...

Hey, a pistol wouldn't be able to do much damage at all to a plane.

But even besides that, it should become usable just for chits and giggles.

It might if you were able to get close enough to put a few rounds in a cockpit.
Only takes one bullet in your head to ruin your day.

Also I can see people bailing and hanging out at towns and shooting at drunks as they run toward the maproom.

Have you ever noticed the drunks also have their pistols out?  Give them AI and we could have "Gunfight at the OK Maproom".

naw someone would get killed by the drunks in some impossibly 200 yard shot or somehting, and come here to whine up a storm about how the "drunks are porked" and overmodeled.

I'd rather fancy a AI on the drunks though, makes the ground fight more important.

Also Special Ops drunks would be awsome. Drive a m-3 near a railway, trow you drunks out and watch them plant C-4!

Or some mine laying things or something...


Ever considered drunks with bazooka's? :)

I don't know why you'd *intentionally* do this, but if you bailed at a town, you could guard the maproom from incoming drunks.

I hope Beet1e doesn't read this......HTC will never be allowed to enable such a weapon!

I'm just about certain you could "pilot wound" a p-38 with it....everything else does!

Hmm, hijacking planes sound good...

Though I doubt HT will allow terroristic actions!

Who needs the .45?  I heard a guy saying yesterday that you can kill planes on the runway just by walking into them!  Maybe the pilot figure needs to be configured like in Mortal Kombat, with the ability to jump kick, karate chop, etc.  Then he'd really be able to take out the troops bare-handed!

Actually, the pilot in the chute just has to spit in the general direction or the Dora to take out the radiator :D

Bazi

Good idea as long as it's unmodeled x km from a friendly base...

can you imagine the hordes of La7 guys bailing out over a base under siege after the drunks are dropped?

Shooting fish in a barrel, unarmed paratroopers :)

You find the chute of the guy who collided with you in an ill conceived HO and kill him on the ground.

or

faced, with no ammo, all the JB's bail out of their planes to kill troops runnin at the town we're defending.

If a .45 pistol had a 10-foot barrel, I couldn't hit a target 12 feet away with it.

Well damn, man, NOBODY could properly aim a colt .45 with a 10-foot barrel!

I dont think the bail-out guy should be able to fire his colt when hanging on the chute, only when he has landed he'll be able to aim. How about that?

No reason you cant fire a pistol while hanging in a chute, a *long gun* is another story though.

I should re-write my statement, I meant he shouldn't be able to aim it downwards, though he should be able to fire :)
