Pushing for a predominantly energy weapons oriented security team is going to push antags towards EMP abuse. Currently, after being EMPed, an Officer's only recourse is the .45 rubbers and a swift retreat, some tear gas if they're lucky enough to not be up against a fella in a gas mask.
We got the .45's largely because of this, there's no reason to nab em back now that they're coded in, it's just busy work for no real reason.
: )
Me me not think this idea so good, boss.
Now, if you wanted to add something to the armory, why not refine and issue a phoron pistol variant that NT's cleared for use as a sidearm? Start rustling some feathers with NT's detractors. Could be entertaining.
