Guns Regulations

Well, recently, @Giggadream admitted that he and a few others had thought of adding guns to Sky Wars. While this may be a fun addition, it can also lead to a sour side. For example, you know how you find snow balls and eggs around the map in chests? You're able to throw them, and knock other players off the other islands. Now, if you were to receive a gun with ammo for that specific gun, you would be holding an easy way to knock people off other islands. It would be a lot easier than simply throwing an egg or snow ball, considering when you throw one of those it has an arc, sort of like the tomahawk in McWar. However, with a gun, you have no arc, so it's a lot easier to be "shot" off an island, especially for those of you who have practice in this sort of thing in war. I have come up with three solutions to this problem.

• Remove all knockback from guns- You can probably understand what this means. If this idea were to be added, if you were to shoot or be shot by a gun, the victim of the bullet would not be knocked back, but he would still be damaged, still possibly leading to a kill. This would make the game a lot easier for players without a gun, or maybe with a gun but just no ammo. You would still be able to kill a player without knocking them off an island. There would still be recoil to the guns.

• Make guns/ammo more rare- The title of this idea seems to explain itself again. If you were to find a chest, if this idea were to be added, it would be less of a chance for you to get a gun, and same thing with ammo for it. The knock back would still be added to it, but a lot less people would have a gun in the first place. If you were to find ammo in a chest, the most you could get at a time would be:

a) Snipers: You would receive 4 bullets at most in a stack.
b) Shotguns: You would receive 6 bullets at most in a stack.
c) Automatics: You would receive 8 bullets at most in a stack.
d) SMG/LMG's (If they were to be added): You would receive 8 bullets at most in a stack.
e) Pistols: You would receive 4 bullets at most in a stack.
Please let me know if I forgot any types of guns. Also, since the knockback would still be on this guns, the knockback would be edited based on the admin's opinion (Example: Shotguns do more knockback, etc. [The amount of ammo you would find in a chance is editable too).

• Give an arc to the guns- If you don't understand this, I'll explain. If you've never used a tomahawk in McWar or fpsHG, it's basically a type of axe that you throw at enemies. When you throw it, depending on how you throw it, the axe goes up in the air, and then falls back down like an arc. While I know this may take the realism out of the guns, this would be a more challenging and less OP way to knock players off the other islands, and it would be used like snowballs and eggs. Now, some of you may be thinking: "Well if the gun are going to work the exact same way as snowballs and eggs, what's the point of keeping them both around in the game?" Well, this isn't exactly true. While the guns would act almost the same way as a snowball/egg, it would do more damage than them depending on the tier (1,2,3,4). A few tier 1-4 snipers could be:

a) Tier I: dragunov
b) Tier II: l118a/M40 (Or whatever that tier 2 sniper is in WarZ :v, please correct me if I'm wrong on these gun names).
c) Tier III: msr
d) Tier IV: barret_50cal
Gun names, tiers, and guns may be edited due to the admins liking.

Well, that's about it. Remember: Giggadream said he had thought about adding guns to Sky Wars. He didn't say he would do it. This thread is made only to give some advice on what the guns should be like if they were ever added in the future. Gigga saying this can be found here.

I hope you like these ideas, if the guns were ever added. Please give some constructive criticism/feedback on my ideas, and if you don't like it, why? Thank you.

No guns would be instant kill, and it would be very hard to find them.
