mrimatool Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 No ones mentioned this yet, but because firearms have a finite ammunition supply sec officers will be more likely to pick their shots wisely. Rather than just spraying and going to a recharge station. Granted it'll mean that officers can just reload if they have the mags, but when they run out, fun is surely to ensue.
Jamini Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Granted it'll mean that officers can just reload if they have the mags I suspect most officers will just carry 3-4 mags. This will make resupplies much less frequent, not more.

This will make resupplies much less frequent, not more. You can't know that, we have no idea how many mags will be available. Officers might just be given one so if they want more they'll need to tell their HoS/ warden and explain what happened to all those rounds.m
Guest Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Loaded mag+1 is actually a good start for the most part. I like it.

Once your 5 shots are done, you're done. The reverse of what you said is true. Officers will not need to pick their shots more carefully. They can just reload.
mrimatool Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I know that tasers can't recharge in the middle of conflict, /but/ because of the rechargers, tasers have infinite rounds as long as there's power. If an officer runs out of bullets he can't get anymore without asking someone else, and this'll lead to the question "what did you do with your other mags?" Then the officer has to come up with a good enough excuse.
Killerhurtz Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 So uh, is this getting done? I really like this. Also, firing a gun leaves an observable shell - and IIRC it's paperwork, in most modern police forces, to discharge a weapon too so we could implement that as well.
Filthyfrankster Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I could see this working in the long run, Just like if their detective pulls out their revolver, fires off a few rounds doing god knows what, Like at some medical doctor who wouldn't comply, everyone would probably question why he discharged live rounds and why he's asking for extra ammo from an autolathe.
monkeysfist101 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I want to move towards ballisicurity because it make sense when you think about it. Who would be more likely to have laser rifles: underpaid corporate security guards or the space commandos hell-bent on ruining their day? This has my vote.
Guest Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Underpaid corporate security guards or the space commandos hell-bent on ruining their day? This has my vote. Considering in this setting power is cheaper and more easily accessible than one use bullets, I think they would be given lazers.
