New Idea: Blank/Fake Bullets

Recommended Posts

Say you find a straggler and want to trust their trustworthiness. Simply hand them a gun loaded with blanks and say "here is a gun with some rounds loaded" and see if they shoot you. the way i see it being crafted is with some pliers or some other similar tool and regular bullets. I had someone say that it might get annoying if they randomly spawned and you kept seeing them and thinking you found ammo so i think they should only be obtainable by crafting. 

 

What do you guys think?

Yeah sure, maybe even taking the bullets out of the casings and leaving powder and a stopper in.

 

Quick and easy reloading.

 

It's going to be awkward when he's trying to shoot an actual hostile though.

I could see this being interesting as a crafted item like you suggested. I don't think it would be very realistic to find many blanks lying around though, so I wouldn't worry about finding them randomly, since they would likely not spawn naturally. Most people don't have much use for them obviously and so wouldn't keep large stashes lying around.

The only weapon that might have some use for blank rounds is the sks for launching rifle grenades other than that nope

Agree'd, I don't think there would be much use for blank bullets, much like the training pants/shirt, the one with only two slots. It's a niche and a few people will use it, but the majority simply wont. Perhaps something for modders to add in at a later point.

I clicked on this link from another thread telling someone that had this same idea that this has been posted  4 times before and this explanation was the best and i thought you should know that.. *gasps 4 air*

Don't see anything wrong with this. Should only be craftable and work only in a few weapons. Essentially to the point of it being not worth to a regular survivor, but worth the time for someone doing that type of experiment.
