The Original Purpose of Items vs How they are actually seen as.

I actually do like the m16. I don't know if his health was really low, but I once followed a full iron guy for a minute until deciding to snipe him with my m16. I killed him in I think 2 bursts and one bullet. Barbed wire is good for playing defense (or if you are low on health and need to heal up). Grenades and Molotovs are good for those people who camp one room, just spam them with these things and it will take their health down tremendously. Hatchets and Flint/steel are really worthless. It isn't to common to find a cow to cook meat, so these just take up inventory space. Maps are good for knowing directions. Compasses are awesome, they will save your life. Flares take up inventory space. I agree with you on blood bags, they main purpose for a lot of people is to boost humanity.Finally, never trust someone that you do not know.

 

This is how they are seen. You got that right.
