Hello everyone.
I believe that currently the bounty hunter class is somewhat "misued".
Players are able to choose this class and immediately receive complete set of free weapons from police departments all over San Andreas.
I think this feature of this class is causing more harm than good in the grand scheme of things.
Bounty Hunter class was created with the intent of helping/supporting the Law Enforcement Officers, however it's the other way around now. People acquire ton of weapons free of charge, and then proceed to kill cops.
There is this kind of butterfly effect going on affecting the whole server:
1. Bounty Hunters get free weapons -- > No need to rob places/do other activities since it's free -- > Kill cops all day --> Server turns into team deathmatch
2. Bounty Hunters get free weapons --> Bounty Hunter camp at LSPD, because he is already there --> New players get constantly killed at their spawn sites --> New players get frustrated and leave.
I witnessed this a lot of times.
I summarised some pros and cons of doing this:

I summarised some pros and cons of doing this:
Pros:
- LSPD/LSA stops being a battleground place, new player friendly
- Server economy improves, people buy guns from ammu-nation
- Players are encouraged to buy weapons from weapon dealers (improvement on another class)
- Players are encouraged to join gangs/groups and use their weapon stash
- Players are encouraged to just rob places, do legal jobs and other activities ( to get money for guns)
- Fair to other classes that can not obtain free weapons
- Bounty hunter no longer gets free weapons
- People might complain that they can no longer duel at LSA
