Allow Pistols to Be In Pocket

[Zelmana]

A majority of the pistols in game are subcompact pistols which are in realistically able to be fit into pants pockets, jacket pockets, and smaller boxes.

Most of the ones I can think of that would fit are already classed as small; and those that aren't fit on the waist slot, which is somewhat appropriate as an alternative. I'd have an easier time agreeing on specific examples than on the majority.

This is honestly a balance thing rather than a realism thing.

 

SS13 is mainly balanced around storage, and keeping your ammo, and whatever, in check.

 

We already have many, many, holsters and webbings which already do this exact purpose.

 

I'm going with a hard no on this one.

Main issue I can see is that this makes holsters completely useless, as you would be able to just put a pistol in a webbing or drop pouches.

My main issue is the disruptor sprite, the normal one, not even the miniature one, has a barrel length that is only a few inches past the grip. It feels odd I can't stuff this into a trenchcoat pocket similar to a revolver.

Maybe that's my only grief.
I'm fine with a full 45 not fitting.

This is already the behavior with a lot of pistols.

Thing is, security belts can already hold normal-size pistols (able to fit their disruptors AND their .45 pistols, up to seven in a belt). That's not what the advantage of a holster is. If you're playing security for instance you might already prefer a drop pouch because of this, but I use a holster, because holsters make it way EASIER to draw/store weapons. Tapping H to pull your gun out is faster than anything else.
