[ALPHA] Chemsprayer Underbarrel Attachment

Post by Surrealistik » 15 Jul 2015, 17:10

CM Version (alpha or Regular):

Alpha.

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):

A minichemsprayer that attaches to the underbarrel of an M41.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):

Adds an interesting attachment that allows for a diverse array of uses, from healing to hurting.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

Essentially it's a miniaturized, lower capacity version of the Chemsprayer weapon; sprays a mist of stored chemicals. 120 unit capacity; discharges 30 units per spray. Reloaded by manually detaching it from the M41 then transferring reagents from containers to it.

Toggled on/off via verb like other secondary weapon attachments.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Minor coding changes.

I believe this would be a great and unique attachment to have.
These could definitely be useful for squad medics for easily dispatching helpful chemical's
While it can also be handy for offensive if the chemicals are deadly enough.

I'm not sure what chemicals come standard equipped in the marine medic's unit but the only problem I see would be having a good supply of the reagents on hand.
You could always get them from medbay before deploying of course. Gives the doctors there even more things to keep their already filled hands with.

Gives the researchers something to do. Medbay could help out, since after prepping the cryomix and making bottles of essential meds they basically have it easy until casualties start coming back (and then they never stop working. Ever.).

An underbarrel attachment on the M41a that.. heals people?

That's violating a lot of gun-safety guidelines. Doesn't make sense to me. Just carry a spray bottle or something, I don't see the point of mounting it onto a firearm.

It can.

Or you can always spray aliens with poly.

Call CubScout, I think Apop would be good with a "combat janitor."

Apparently chemical warfare is banned in all forms (though the rule is one of those that has not yet been added to the official roster), so this could only be used to heal soldiers.

Ahem. *points at flamethrowers and exploding ammo for one of the M41 variants*

There are very specific exceptions; I know, as a Researcher/CMO main it frustrates me too.

It's because polyacid smoke is extremely overpowered.
