Hey guys,

Iv been thinking alot about the often mentioned idea of adding a side-arm to the game, now Ben has somewhere mentioned he MAY add this in future, i couldn't find the direct quote for you.

So Im going to throw out a few ideas as to how it could work, and id love for you guys to give me some feedback or add your own ideas.

P.S: Side-arm is a slang term for a handgun/pistol
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic dynamics - pistol or nades/ pistol and nades
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

My initial idea with the side-arm goes one of two ways,

1) after choosing 1,2,3 for your main weapon you get a choice of either 2 grenades or a low power sidearm. This option makes you think more tactility about the game.

2) You have grenades as normal and change to the sidearm by pressing a different key, but this takes away the whole tactics idea by making everyone totally versatile which makes gameplay a lil bit more basic, and less risky.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic dynamics - The pistol mechanics
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rounds in magazine: 9-15 (because thats an average amount for a low power sidearm)

Total rounds: 30-40

Accuracy: medium range

Fast: faster then semi

Damage to head: 50

Damage to body: 25

Damage to limbs: 20

It is a last resort, quick draw weapon, for those "OSHIT" moments, or when you run out of ammo.

Also it could mildly help the shotgun users who suddenly find themselves in a wide open area, or the enemy to far away to effectively injure with the shotty.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ironsights
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Typical handgun ironsights, vaugly similar to the semi, but the edge parts at either side are closer together, making it more narrow, as a handgun is narrower then a rifle.
