Hello,
I've been playing a lot recently and there have been a few things I have seen in-game that people seem to have mixed feelings about, regarding the legitimacy of certain role play.
I believe people not role playing in a realistic manner is refereed to as "failRP". I'll stick to that for now, but if you can correct me please do.
A lot of people like to drive past people who have guns pointed at them on the roads, so called "mugging" (doing their best to avoid knocking people over).
In a real life scenario, if I were driving and two people jumped out on me with pistols (not blocking the road), the chances of me hearing them telling me to stop are quite slim and I would certainly want to avoid trouble. For this reason I would carry on driving (and even increase my speed) in attempt to avoid contact with them. This is even truer if these people were dressed like outlaws. This might not be the case however if they had bigger guns, especially if they were pointed at me or stood in the middle of the road.
On Altis Life it is pretty clear that someone intends to mug you when they stand by the side of the road with their gun pointed at you. Would it be considered failRP to act based upon this (given that in real life the majority of the time if someone has a gun on the side of the road it is for some kind of non-hostile security purpose regarding the police)?
Furthermore, would it be deemed failRP if the driver simply drove past?
This bring me on to my next point, shooting people's car's wheels out.
As in real life, wheels can be shot out to stop a car in its tracks (pun anyone?). If a car drives past a mugging, is it realistic to shoot out the wheels of the car to stop it, or even shoot out the wheels before the car arrives if it shows no signs of slowing down - is this feasible to do in roleplay?
As pointed out by several people in-game, if the person in the car complies there should be no need to shoot out the wheels, however at least a quarter of my attempted muggings have resulted in the driver driving off. Baring in mind that pistols are extremely bad at shooting wheels out, it would be nice for clarification about when we are/aren't allowed to shoot the wheels.
And on to a bit of fear roleplay - the term "fearRP" was used on previous RP games, I don't know if it has carried over to Alts Life? Anyway, when people are mugged they often say they don't know how to put their hands up. If someone talks to me in this manner I always give them time to put their hands up and tell them the key combination, other than that I stick to (and get straight back into) roleplay.
A lot of people have said they don't know the key combination, spend ages pretending to get it to work and then run off. In these cases I have tried to shoot them instantly, could someone clarify if this is allowed (on both parties, them running away like that and me shooting them after a given warning).
I would also like to ask if people are allowed to run away in a situation likewise to this. If I have a gun pointed at their head and they start running, I don't think they should be able to run. If they run I also think I should be allowed to shoot them (apparently I am anyway).
In addition to this, if someone gets out of the car but has a gun on him, should I be allowed to shoot him? Every single case this has happened they person got out the car and started shooting at me. Every time I died.
The problem is they have more notice than me, I don't shoot until they shoot, and by the time they shoot I am dead... If someone gets out of a vehicle with a gun surely I should be allowed to fire at them, is this allowed if I warned them?
Finally, I would like to ask about submarines.
I've heard so much about them, everybody seems to want one (and so do I!), but I can never find out where they can be purchased.
Could somebody please clear up if there are submarines on this server, furthermore where can they be purchased if so?
Thanks in advance, I know these are a bunch of potentially "rookie" questions, but they seem to be bouncing around and I haven't found a clear answer for these particular cases.

Edit: Changed title. I'd also like to add I was told in-game that submarines have been added more recently, hence why I am asking here as opposed to in-game, where there was an almost 50% split between people saying there are and are not submarines!
