Why people think this new gun system is a good idea is really beyond me. First of all, it is now incredibly difficult to obtain a weapon as a smaller gang. As there are no scamming rules, bigger gangs have no incentive to actually deliver the guns as agreed. Moreover, there is nothing you can do as you have no weapons to retaliate with once scammed. Especially larger unofficial gangs will have no chance at actually playing the game properly, as no bigger gang has any incentive to sell them guns. Roleplaying crime as a larger unofficial gang is also made impossible by the fact that guns can also not be obtained legally, as they are criminals.
Another point is that pistols are basically going to be non-existant, as bigger gangs will only use larger guns to do crime. This, in my opinion, is not very realistic/immersive at all. There is currently no way to remove serial numbers from a gun to make it untrackable, as happens very often in real life. Because of this, it will be virtually impossible to pass around legal firearms without having permits revoked.
I realise that this thread will probably soon be deleted, as I've just been banned from Discord for naming these consequences of this ridiculous new system. I've had severla friends quit already because of this. Roleplaying as a criminal that is not part of a larger gang just got impossible, so I'm really baffled as to why people think this has been a good idea.
