I thought It was just my luck I end up finding empty guns.
@Sammy - I have to say we've made the mod too soft core. I was "ok" with people being able to absorb a hit, or walk away from a headshot. You do know part of the pull for this mod even after all these years was that it was very easy for newbies or not so skilled players to do well. Hardcore, meant you get shot in your toe and you die that's perfectly fine by me. This is not real life, it doesn't have to imitate that either. Sure, it gives way for some people to dominate but that's across the board so anyone can do well, its fair.
Most of the complaints that people used to make about 1-shot kill, or cars all around for easy kills, IMHO; just sore losers. The spirit of this mod was easy gaming and pulling each other's leg or at least that's what I think it is, stupid silly fun.
I just don't understand why you need to give armor or juggernaut or flak jacket. Heck make it instagib, so people can stop taking this game too seriously. Go play Insurgency or ARMA if you care so much about "realism". Noob guns are perfectly fine in my opinion.
