Your name: Uziskull
Suggestion headline: Nerf and/or disable Sawed-off Shotguns
Picture: -
Importance of suggestion: 6
Why should it be accepted: As a highly overused weapon, the Sawed-off Shotgun can be dual wielded, and has a ridiculously fast firing rate because of this. This can be easily seen if playing for some time: police members overuse these weapons, giving you almost no way of escaping the police without getting your vehicle set on fire extremely quickly, or without losing all your armor and health in approximately 20 seconds (if the police player in question is bad at aiming, if otherwise you can kill someone with one single 4 ammo clip); also, the deathlog displayed on screen mostly displays Shotgun kills.
Therefore, many other weapons are being underused, or not used at all, which limits the gameplay for all players alike.
As such, I suggest that this weapon is either nerfed: for example, limiting it to single wield, and possibly kicking/temp-ban dual-wielders; limiting the ammo that can be bought/carried is also a somewhat uneffective way of nerfing it. Or it could just be removed from Ammunations and/or Weapon Dealers, to prevent further use of it.

There was a poll and the majority of players voted no.

I see where you're coming from, it is quite an over-powered weapon that can be easily accessed. I wouldn't mind a little nerf like taking away a bit of HP from the damage of the sawn-off or increasing the price of the weapon from dealers and shops.

Ah, I'm sorry then, I didn't know. I still think it's useful to post this, however.

Exactly, although I don't know if server-side scripts can change the damage of the weapon, hence why I didn't suggest that. If they can, though, that would be an efficient solution.

Of course most players will vote no just because it is an overpowered and overused weapons that can be used while walking and has a huge amount of damage, leading to a kill in 4-8 shots (4-5 if well aimed). It is not something that should be decided by the players but by the staff and/or donators/People with Tag because if not, maybe it'll never be balanced.

I was the one who voted yes, I know its op and over used but since most people said no they never removed it.

I understand what you want, its a Roleplay Server and Sawnoff Shotguns or 2 shot has nothing to do on a server like this. But its still a piece of this server and makes it special.. Its good so how it is already, no need for change.

Sawn off is a special weapon .. powerful and light , removing it will destroy the server .. 4 shots kill only if the aiming is direct and all shots damaged the other player ... it has a weakness point as well .. distance is .. you can avoid it's power by keeping some distance and we all know that all shotguns are very powerful for short distances , Sawnoff only offers the ability to run while shooting .. Therefore removing it will simply cause a great loss to all players , specially army members and robbers .. if you fail to escape from it's power , you can simply fight back .. I'm sure you will love it if you learn how to duel and switch well
