This thing is cool. But used un-necessarily. it's hugely overpowered once you've hit the first shot, as you can see in the clip above. I count 6 continuous shots into me, 5 being while i was already on the floor, in order to keep me on the ground. I understand that in real life, it is good to keep someone on the floor to stop them from causing further harm, however this is silly. I had put my weapon away at that point and was planning on just fleeing with hands up unarmed. I would argue here that there is power gaming going on here however, you cant blame the G6 officer as its the gun hes given and hes just using it the way its made. My suggestion would be to either reduce the amount of beanbag rounds loaded into the gun, maybe making it 1 shot before needing a lengthy re-load, or to make the effect of the launcher different, where it knocks you down but you are able to stand up straight away again rather than having the same effect as the tazer.

Made a post about the bean bag before, needs a nerf for sure.

Fantastic display of roleplay there, I'm sure there's something you could've done to win that situation, onto the next!

Issue I see is more how its being used here than anything else.

If someone kept tasing you, identical to this situation you would be unable to stand up. From a RP perspective the bean bag is safer to use on a person.

If the beanbag was made worse im sure the police would just start shooting over the bean bag anyway. I feel this would better be sorted in RP. The fact you cannot keep tasing someone means it very rarey happens. Treat the beanbag launcher the same way.

Your gun has a massive mag each bullet being able to kill someone and shoot at X rpm. Yes the beanbag is good but it doesnt have the firerate or mag size as your gun.

Yes its unluck you ran out of ammo, but if you didnt you could shoot the cop/g6 dead and run away. That cop/g6 would have to run over mid gunfight risking getting shot to arrest you and RP with you ect all while one of you guys could shoot him.

Yes its good but its not like the guns you had are better

i think the beanbag is fine as it is, but that's also coming from someone that rarely use them or get shot by them

I had put my weapon away at that point and was planning on just fleeing with hands up unarmed.

i mean, would you rather get shot or bean bagged? because you running away unarmed would've not stopped either from happening

I don't mind either happening if im trying to run away. However is 5 extra beanbag rounds necessary when I'm already down on the floor?

following the police procedures(stay safe principle mainly) keeping you on the ground makes sense, 5 in so short succession really makes little difference in the long run

i would love to stop the beanbag launcher from going through vehicle windows as well, especially on armored vehicles.

I think Maverick right here, the issue is not the beanbag it's how its being used, if was me i'd give you chance to get up, not just constantly hitting you while on floor, the firearms guy has his gun on you anyway if you decided to shoot

eh, going through windows do somewhat make sense, but i do agree with bullet resistant/proof windows

Brotha, the back window (side windows aswell tbf) of a car is made to be broken easily in case of an emergency
Not sure if gta mechanics allow for separate damage for these though but still, just take the chase instead of a cheap bean bag.

Would you rather get boogey bombed 6 times in a row to then just get shot in a head, or get bean-bagged 6 times and get put into cuffs. It's just abusing scuff at that point and honestly, i rather get shot and downed rather than get clowned on by a beanbag.

you also have to remember the risk of chasing someone with a firearm, doubt the police was aware he was out of bullets

sure, but still shows they can break car windows, even if they realistically can't break the front windshield

or get bean-bagged 6 times and get put into cuffs. It's just abusing scuff at that point and honestly,

not really abusing, durations on bean bags/tasers tend to last longer on the second hit and so on anyway, all the guy that shot him 5 or so times did after the second shot was waste ammo
