CaptainSlug I really think some of the stuff you make is cool but latley you have been a real fag. If you don't have anything to say about alternate fire modes then don't dare post in this thread because all your doing is fucking up this thread saying it's stupid and useless, but really it's not it is informal and helpfull.
Anyways one alternate fire mod is the rf20's slow automatic if you want to conserve darts and the faster automatic for more power.
There's a line between being a hard-ass (CS) and an idiot. You've clearly crossed the line here.
CS just seems to cross me as more of a player who enjoys using one gun, sticking to it, and then owning everyone with it. Similar players I can name that I've seen/heard of are VACC, Groove, and Evil. Notice a trend? It is some of the oldest people in the community who have (combined) been to more wars than weeks you have been here, and are damn good with their weapons (having personally went against Groove and Evil).
Given, there is nothing wrong with trying multiple guns, and I'm still in the process of finding a gun that I really enjoy using (scheduling issues with wars is greatly hindering that), but one should really have a gun that they're really good with before branching out with other guns; otherwise your effectiveness might be hindered. At least that's what I've garnered from hearing the vets for so many years.
So you're both right. CS is right in the fact that you really should be good with one gun to be effective, and the rest of you are right in that it might be nice to have an alternate fire for different situations; An X-bow in close quarters may not be the best idea, but something with rapid-fire capabilities might. However, if you have an X-bow with a rapid-fire gun integrated into it, but you can't aim or use the thing, it's completely useless. But if you're really good with the gun, but the situation just isn't conducive to the gun itself, then you're kind of screwed.
Listen. There's a way to get your dislike of people across without sounding like an idiot. CS comes across as a hard-ass, because he's very blunt and doesn't waste time buttering things up. However, he rarely will go out and throw out an insult that's actually not warranted. Was he sarcastic this time? Yes. Might he have gone a bit too far? Perhaps in the eyes of some. However, he has a point, and even if you disagree, there are many ways to voice your disagreement. Calling him a fag was probably the dumbest thing you could have done, because not only did you not even come close to having an adequate response (CS sarcasm > calling someone a fag), but your response was completely unwarranted.
You could very easily just have presented the argument I did above for when the situation calls for something, but instead you decided to call him a fag. Great move.
In all seriousness people, you
all have to learn to deal with moments like these. People
will disagree with you, and learning to handle these people is a very important life skill. As such, the next time someone disagrees with you in a sarcastic, critical tone, try a different approach. Explain your view, and if you're feeling confident, try a witty sarcastic remark yourself.
ejrasmussen, I'm going to give you a warning here; generally I haven't had a problem with you so I expect that it will be erased rather quickly. However, I'm going to give you one so you know that in the future, there are far better ways of dealing with sarcastic, biting remarks.

On-topic, I'm personally working on a 2k-LS integration that allows me to still use a pump-action foregrip; I remember the last DCNO there were many-a-time when I wished I had a quick second shot ready to hit the person after a dodge. Given, a pump-action LS is pretty quick, but I'm talking about on the magnitude of within a second. Also, a shot to cover me while I reload the clips seemed like a good idea. It doesn't quite classify as an alternate-fire per say, but it does fall under the realm of a gun that is fitting for a greater variety of situations/extending the usefulness of the gun. After all, 2 medium-long range shots are better than one, eh?
