"Because..............You cant produce enough kinetic energy to penetrate the skin."
Your right, it should be throwable too!
sarcasm.
Its strange btw, that the ripper has armor penetration, i never thought about bringing down a metal door with a chainsaw, i allways thought it would just destroy the chainsaw.
I hope some of you are getting the hints about the ridiculousness of some of these arguments/counterarguments.
We could even ask Chris Taylor about this stim-needler idea, if he would find it a plausable idea, would you abandon "realism" in a world of magic potions, fev vats, capsules that guarentee you radiation immunity, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc?
The questions about this idea, and what needs to be discussed ARE:
HOW would this alter gameplay? HOW could it be balanced.
Then the devs read, and THEY will decide if it fits in with their views of THIS game, NOT the frikkin fallout bible.
