    So I was browsing the forums today, and I came across a thread with some gun suggestions. After reading through the comments, I came across this:
    This got me thinking, "What is something unique that hasn't been done before?" I thought about this for a good hour. Finally, I had a brilliant idea: The Dragon's Breath. I have searched the forums, and discovered that this has never been suggested in the past. Thus, I am bringing it into the light. The Dragon's Breath is a shotgun, similar to the Spas12, but instead shoots incendiary rounds which will burn enemies struck with the rounds. This allows for heavy duty damage from the round itself, plus with the after burn from the incendiary rounds (leaving the target on fire for a short amount of time). The reason I classified this as a donator weapon is because we have a wide variety of them, ranging from Rocket Launchers, MiniGuns (Automatics), Flamethrower (Automatic/Flame), Demolisher (Ray Gun), and a Bow (explosive tip). I was thinking, what type of weapon is missing from this group? Then it hit me... There are no shotguns available for purchase. This got me thinking what type of shotgun would be good enough to be included in the "Donator Weapon" category. I went through all the shotguns I could think of, when I remembered the Dragon's Breath. It is only available in the Campaign level "The Defector". I know many Mc-War users love shotguns. Im sure they would love the idea of a shotgun of this level should be added to the Donator Weapon list. In CoD, around 10-20 feet away it was a one shot kill, around 15-30 blocks away the incendiary aspect of the weapon finished them off. I know this would not be good specs for Mc-War (seeing as how that would be incredibly too OP), so I made up my own specs for the weapon. I have listed some weapon specs below (completely open to revisions, for I am unsure about most of them). The wiki available for the Dragon's Breath can be found here. I have also attached an image of the shotgun:


    [​IMG]

    Weapon Specs:

    Reload time: Same as Model.
    Bullets Per Shot: 7
    Damage: 1 heart per bullet (Plus incendiary damage)
    Fire rate: 1 shot per 1.5 second
    Accuracy: Same as Model.
    Mag: 4/64?
    Pump Action Shotgun
    Cost: $5

    I am open to more suggestions on the Specs, for I am unsure about most of them. Make sure to comment, leaving what you like/dislike about the idea. Also, if you have any revisions that you would like done to the weapon, please leave them in the comments below. Remember to vote!

    I didn't read some of the details but isn't this just like flamethrower except that it's a shotgun and does way more damage?

    I was thinking about this being a slight issue, but many players are more accustom to the use a shotgun, rather than a weapon like the flame thrower. The flame thrower is more of a long distance weapon, while the Dragon's Breath is more of a close range, rushing weapon. I my opinion, it depends on what kind of weapon you are more accustom too.
    There have been quite a few threads regarding weapon suggestion that are for non-donators. As the quote I stated before from Sir_Blocksalot, people are tired of getting the same old idea. So I brought to the table an original, never before done idea.

    It could possibly qualify as a non-donator weapon, but it it were to be, I would recommend it being a high prestige weapon if it were to be. I still believe it should be a donator weapon. Why do you believe it should be a non-donator weapon? Just wondering so I can see it from your point of view.

    Reminds me of Hades, the Pack a punched Olympiad. Anyways this is cool. A flaming shotgun is always cool and then we can start hearing jesterlord having a class called dragon something again C:. To be serious, the damage per shot is weird. Normally you write damage per bullet for a shotgun. Please do that. Anyways good idea and I'm all for this.

    Alright, changed it up now. When you shoot, you shoot 7 bullets at a time. Each bullet does 1 heart of damage. If all of them hit, it does in total 7 damage, plus the incendiary damage (which damages them little by little with fire). Seem good, or should I change some things around?
    Thanks! Wouldn't have thought of this without your message, so a big thanks out to you for helping me with this idea. If you have any suggestions, I'm all for it :smile:

    It's a good idea, yes... But can you think about non-donator weapons ?

    I'll make sure to start thinking of unique, non donator weapons. Hopefully I will have one in a few days. Thanks for the feedback.

    I favor the uniqueness of this gun but you could water it down to a flame-thrower merged with a shotgun. My suggestion would be to make it an ice type weapon not a fire type. The ice part could either "Freeze" victims dead in their tracks when they get shot or give slowness effect when shot.
    With this change the fire rate and or projectile dispersal pattern would have to be decreased because the server would not want this weapon to become a "Run and freeze everyone!" kind of weapon.
    Still a great suggestion Signatured.

    Maybe not FREEZE them, but at least slow them down. It would be pretty op if you couldn't even move after getting shot. The very definition of a sitting duck, right up in front of a shotgun.

    Thanks! <3 you mr feedback. This could be a possibility also, but as Cbsusd said:
    We don't want it to be too OP. Slowness would not been bad. Maybe like a slowness 2. Good suggestions from you both :grinning:

    I agree the only way this weapon would be able to "Freeze" a player solid would be if the projectile dispersal patter was very limited and the time between shots was reduced a good deal.


    Thank you Signatured I try. :grinning:
