M276 ammo rig holds pistol

Post by Aetsuki » 21 Aug 2016, 23:44

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Make it so the ammo rig BOs spawn with can hold the pistol that comes in it.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It makes it so that one can just put their pistol where it spawns, instead of leaving it in a pocket or having to find a holster.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
The pistol is already in the rig, so presumably it can hold it. It wouldn't be much effort to have a holster on it.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
If I remember rightly, one of the few things preventing this is the fact its not on a list of accepted items to the rig. It'd be simple to add the item to the list.

From what I heard, a lot of marines abused this by just stocking up on pistols instead of a pistol and ammo.

This was clearly done for the sake of RP, because in real life, a marine wouldn't go packing 8 pistols for a mission, nor would he casually discard them like trash.

If you are packing a pistol now, you HAVE to pack ammo with it if you want more ammo for it.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

Neutral, as much as I would love to stow a pistol in my belt, I do understand that stocking up on pistols instead of mags is pretty powergamey. So instead, allow the belt to hold only one sidearm?

They are in the rig only temporarily. They will soon be replaced by an actual gun belt; it already exists, it's just not enabled. Resolved.
