suggestion: Mauser C96 Upgrade

(1/4) > >>

Ulrek:
well, thought i'd make some kind of suggestion of my own, unless some one else beat me to it, for the forums.

well the name says it all, you know the gun, you like/hate it.

but i did have a idea for a way to make it a little better.

it has been suggested to add the worst SMG of ww2 to FOnline just to give a good use for 9mm rounds.

but i think the sten(ch) gun is not the answer, if anyone knows about history they would know that the Mauser C96 side arm made first by the germans and than later the chinese and a number of other countries was sometimes reworked for full automatic fire and a bigger removeable box mag.

my suggestion is to allow this with the same stuff used to extend the mag in the other weapons, but it would add roughly 20-30 rounds to it and full automatic fire, even if only at shorter range the the 10mm SMG.

reasons to do this:

1: it would add some use for 9mm ammo.
2: it would add a tiny bit more detail to the crafting system, not to mention has something else new players can make, but perhaps a more "simple to make" SMG that you don't need the gun smith profession to make, thus giving it a reason to be made, since its a upgrade not a whole new weapon, but not as good as the 10mm SMG.
3: it can be made as a upgrade for a already ingame weapon, not adding a whole new one with icons and the like.

and i'm sure i could spam made up reasons for it, but i just thought i'd put the idea out there.

cheers all, feel free to dumb this in junk if every one hates the idea.

Kharaam:
i definitly agree with one thing, we should do something about 9mm ammo. Maybe introduce UZI or Mp5? but still your idea is nice

Roachor:
Since the mauser is as powerful as a kitten fart it would be nice to have a use for the ammo.

could you be more clear about that?

if the cat only eats wet food than their farts can be quite powerful, trust me on this.

ahm..

anyway, the problem with the Uzi and other SMGs is that they would be adding a whole new weapon to the game.

the main point i am trying to sell this suggestion with, is that it only adds a "upgrade" to a existing weapon, thus, making the game still quite close to fallout 2, while adding a use for 9mm ammo, and adding a nice little piece of history if that gets one off..

Swinglinered:
UZI/MP5 are too modern (yes I know there were plenty of violations of this, like the Pancor/etc. The rayguns are retro-futuristic so they are ok.)

Jazzing up a Mauser to Machine Pistol status would be cool, like a gun version of the Buggy.

Not SMG, Machine Pistol.

Thanks for bringing up the C96.

Good idea.

I'll bet that thing had fast deterioration in burst mode.
