veganzombeh Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Stun prods should have small chance to electrocute the user when they're used if they're not wearing insulated gloves, since after all, you are just holding a shoddily constructed metal rod with a battery attached. It would add an additional risk to using stun prods, since right now it is fairly easy to make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacemanspark Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 That... isn't such a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fj45 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Sounds good, currently stun prods are very powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannhawk Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 as a frequent greytider and robuster of shitcurity. i will approve of this if: if the weapon backfires it should also stun the target you were aiming for...resulting in two guys laying on the floor.

If that is the case, I very much agree with the suggestion as it helps offset the power of this rather easily obtainable weapon. Worth pointing out that the "no shock" gene mod should also protect you from backfires, while perhaps being drenched would increase the chance if possible? And god help you if you are covered in something flammable when it backfires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those ideas sound great, I wasn't even aware there was a no shock gene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalseIncarnate Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'll run this past the other admins (since it's kinda a balance thing) and look into coding in the self-shock if they give the greenlight. The drenched thing might be tricky to do, but having it ignite you when covered in fuel shouldn't be too hard since there should already be proc's for igniting people that could be called.
