  1. Feature Showcase: Lockpicking Information Breaking into a vehicle and hotwiring the engine are now linked to a lockpicking skillgame, allowing for less random-generated lockpicking and a more interactive experience. Rotate the Lockpin and probe for a Solution by holding the Left Mouse Button and inspecting the stiffness and resistance of your Lockpin. Once close to a Solution, your Lockpin will twitch less and you will hear fewer sounds of resistance from inside of the Cylinder. Once this is the case, hold the Left Mouse Button even longer, to drive the Lockpin in and loosen the internal Pin. Continue the procedure, until all Pins inside the Cylinder have lost their tension (Circular Progress). Be careful with your Lockpin, pressing for too long against too much resistance will break it. Anti-Theft Of course, better Locks and Anti-Theft Hardware provide a more difficult experience for the Lockpicker. The Lockpick will be prone to taking damage on quality locks and in general finding the pin will be more difficult as the width of the spot for a solution will decrease. High Alarm-Kits of course trigger once someone or something touches their Lock-Mechanism, so be aware of that when lockpicking highly secured vehicles. Breaking your pin and letting the mechanism fall back will likely (Random-Chance Based) result in setting off the Alarm as well. Commands & Keys /vbreakin - To start lockpicking a vehicle door. /hotwire - To start lockpicking the engine-ignition A-Key & D-Key - To rotate the Lockpick. Left Mouse Button - To stick the Lockpick in and try to rotate the Cylinder. F4 - To abort the lockpicking.

We proudly present you what a dealership should be. Vehicle Evaluations We at Vetrov Automotive absolutely understand the struggle behind selling a vehicle, especially if due to your schedule you simply don't have the time to do so and of course understand how painful it is to go to any dealership and being offered barely half of what your vehicle is worth. We strive towards finding the golden middle ground where both parties leave with a favorable outcome. We like to believe that we are in the same boat, simply approach us, talk to us, we can definitely negotiate and come to an agreement. We are honest but fair in our vehicle evaluations, we are as willing to negotiate as you are, this of course comes down to the way we are approached, we try to be as reasonable as possible but do not tolerate hostility. The worst thing we or you can say is no, simply talk to us. We are willing to purchase most vehicles in good condition excluding commercial, such as delivery trucks and vans. Vehicle Reservations Moving forward we are introducing vehicle reservations for a vehicle that caught your attention but you simply need that extra time, we understand. By paying 5% of the vehicle's value, we will hold onto the vehicle for you for up to 48 hours (up to 72 hours on a vehicle value of over $200.000). After 48 (or 72) hours have passed without you collecting your vehicle, the vehicle will be put back on sale. When you purchase the vehicle, the 5% deposit will be taken off the vehicle's price of course. Due to the natural potential of people reserving a vehicle for the sake of being able to and requesting a refund just before the 48 hours run out, you would have to excuse us for making the 5% deposit non-refundable.

  4. Easy way to combat any issues with not letting said rifles is to put some restrictions in place to make sure they're given to the right people. The only arguments against people being able to legally buy and own rifles is worrying about someone who'll just grab a PF license willy nilly and start acting like they're in a militia or some crap, or go do something stupid like get insulted by one individual and then go shoot up an entire house full of people because of it. Which can already be done with what's available anyway. In my personal opinion, the best approach is to put restrictions on it and maybe even have it create more roleplay through said restrictions? MAYBE make it so if someone wants a rifle they need a different license on top of a PF, and there needs to be I don't know, IC means of requiring it on top of some sort of test / exam? Imagine if you had to meet a few basic IC / OOC requirements just to apply, then said person had to show up in-character, at a gun store to show that they are competent and understand rifles and weapons in general. From general firearm safety to knowing about weapon jams, malfunctions, accidental and negligent discharges, and so on. Which said information can be something supplied to gun store owners and those who are employeed at said stores. Which means for someone to know what they're going to be tested on, they have to go learn the material, in-character, at a gun store. That provides a CRAP ton of roleplay for gun stores, ON TOP of the roleplay that rifles would give everyone in general outside of the stores. The pros massively out-weigh the cons in this situation if implemented properly. You can easily give gun stores a lot more to do other then just selling weapons / attachments. And it brings a lot more roleplay to gun culture in general. Which, for those who don't live in the United States, is a big big big big thing. It brings countless opportunities to build more roleplay, a more realistic atmosphere, and so much more.

  7. Sounds to me like people abusing PF guns needs to be enforced, period. It doesnt sound like other things should be rejected simply because of a refusal, or negligence, to enforce other rules.

  10. Rifles are not illegal and are a superior method of self-defence on ones own property than that of a handgun. If someone fucks about, they can find out with a forum report. The same for every single rule on the server.

  11. I am once again asking for you to modify an unrealistic weapons system implemented on this server. I get that some of this stuff is out of the wheel house of devs and management, and that's okay. I'm not slighting you guys at all on this. But this is not good. Grandfathering in people who could scratch off a serial number? You guys have to understand the difference here. Grinder go bzzzzz and rifle go ratatatatatatata are not the same thing. And contrary to popular belief, it's a little more complicated than reading something or watching a video on the internet to be actually good at something and make it functional when it comes to guns. And the thing about it is, if this gets messed up, it's a range of different consequences from the gun not functioning at all to the receiver not being able to take the pressure and breaking apart when you pull the trigger. The only person you've shot then is yourself - with your splintered lower. It's a skill set. And I said it on discord and I'll say it again here. Giving a scritchy scratch over some numbers on the outside of a receiver is not a skill. But taking a rifle that was not meant to be fired in the full auto, making structural and engineered changes to it to make it that way? A far cry from the same thing at all. Plus there's like a half dozen different avenues to do this. The only reliable one? A Drop In Auto Seer, or a DIAS. However, you can't just go down and get those, and you're definitely not just whipping one up in a garage on Grove Street. Crower nailed it, the coat hanger guns? Not reliable - contrary to what the internet says. This has to be separated and a more stringent review of a character's background has to be considered. This isn't the same thing. It's not even close.

  12. *This thread will follow the life of Doris Malloway.* Early Life. Doris Harrison (maiden name) was born on the Second of March, 1952 to the British couple, Irene and Norman Harrison who at the time resided in the small town of Jefferson, Texas. She was raised to be prim, proper, and always have outstanding manners. She was a polite young girl, and excelled in her education as she was incredibly bright. She learned a multitude of languages which would help later in life. She was quite shy and reserved, and only spoke when spoken to. Her parents always told her - "Children are to be seen, and not heard, Doris!". Talking to peers in her early education was often a struggle, and as a British girl in a Texas school, she was often the subject of ridicule, teasing and nastiness from her peers. She did however make one good friend, going by the name of Beatrice Wagner. Beatrice always stood up for Doris, always challenging her bullies, and protecting her from the pokes and prods she would endure as a young child. They quickly became very close and sought comfort in each other, as Beatrice's home life was not great. Her father would often use cruel punishments such as beatings, and screaming in her face. They were two peas in a pod. As Doris and Beatrice grew up through high school together, they began to get extremely close. The comfort that the shy young woman had found in Beatrice, had quickly evolved into a romantic nature. They would often sneak off during class to enjoy lunch together, or to kiss each other in private away from prying eyes. Doris quickly fell in love with her, and she would become the first of only two loves in her life. One day, in the blazing heat of summer, a group of friends walked outside during gym class and found Doris and Beatrice holding hands and were disgusted. They mocked them, and began to beat them up. Neither were strong enough to defend themselves against the torrents of fists, and both went home with bloodied lips and black eyes. When Doris's mother found out, she acted as if it did not happen and simply swept it to one side, fearing that her daughter was gay. However, when Beatrice's father found out, he beat her violently and near to the point of unconsciousness Loss of a loved one. After months of homophobic attacks, bullying and fearing going into school, the two officially ended their relationship. A month later, Beatrice committed suicide by hanging. She left a note which read - "My dearest beloved. It is with great sorrow that I cannot continue on this path, and so I must reunite with the heavenly father. My home life is as you know, not the best. I have suffered beatings, anger, drunken fights, and abuse both sexual, and physical. I feel as though there is no kindness in the world, and now that the flame of our undying, but forbidden love has been extinguished, so has the light in my life. Please know that this is not your fault, I love you more than I can ever express in mortal words, but without you I have nothing. Nobody cares about us, nobody cares how in love we are, and nobody cares about the suffering and pain that we go through. I love you. I am so, so sorry. My dearest, I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me, and know that I only harbour resent to those who have hurt me. A million stars up in the sky. One shines brighter - I can't deny. A love so precious, a love so true, a love that comes from me to you. The angels sing when you are near. Within your arms I have nothing to fear. You always know just what to say. Just talking to you makes my day. I love you, Doris, with all of my heart. Together forever and never to part. - Your sweet, your love, Beatrice" This note sent Doris into a pit of despair and hopelessness. She would often write letters to her deceased friend, and write letters to herself on behalf of Beatrice, acting as though she were still alive. This event would be something that she would never recover from, and would hold ramifications throughout her whole life. Early Adulthood. At the age of 18, Doris could no longer handle the trauma of the loss of Beatrice, and her and her family decided to leave Texas, and return to England. She would have achieved the necessary qualifications, and began studying communications at the University of Cambridge, and after 5 years, completed her master's degree at the age of 23. She felt accomplished, and decided to move back to her hometown of Jefferson, Texas to seek work. Only a few days after she landed, she saw a recruitment poster for the C.I.A and applied, and her outstanding resume along with her impressive range of language got her hired. She started off filing, and translating documents, but the director of the C.I.A at the time, George H.W. Bush, quickly took notice of her impressive ability to perform under pressure and keep a quiet and reserved attitude to her work. Within a year, she was able to apply for a field agent position, and was accepted in 1976. She went through all the required training and passed with flying colours, and was quickly given a position as an informant in the Italian Mafia in Liberty City, as the RICO Act was beginning to screw the big mafia bosses. Her duties were simple - observe and report. She did basic work for the mafia, taking calls for the boss, filing sensitive documents, acting as security and listening in on meetings. In 1981, she was taken off her position and her work proved to be valuable. She remained undetected the entire time. (Pictured: Doris Harrison as a Mafia Security Guard, Circa. 1977. Captured using the Kodak Brownie Six-20 F) Meeting Victor. In 1981, Doris met Victor Malloway during her debriefing period from her time in the Mafia. They were both positioned in the same area, unaware of each other and after the fact, they quickly formed a close relationship. They would go to the beach, diners, drive in movie theatres, and their relationship would rapidly become romantic, and they both fell in love with each other. Doris was finally getting over her grief and anger at the world for taking Beatrice from her, and although she kept her a secret, she was ready to move on and give love another chance. In the spring of 1982, Doris Harrison and Victor Malloway married, becoming Mr and Mrs. Malloway. They then took out a mortgage on a nice home and began to work together more closely at work and at home, never getting sick of each other's presence. Doris was more content than ever, and was finally at a point in her life where she was truly happy. She had a place to call home, a loving and devoted husband, and a stable job that she loved. (Pictured top: Doris Mallow and Victor Malloway as Mafia security, Circa 1977. Captured using the Kodak Brownie Six-20 F) (Pictured bottom: Doris Malloway in her home, Circa 1980. Captured using the Nikon FA) Adult Life In 1983, tensions were at an all time high between Russia and the United States of America. This only increased and was further exacerbated when President Ronald Reagan branded the Soviet Union an "evil empire" Because of this, The C.I.A. gave Doris a post as an informant in the Soviet Union, and her duties again were simple. Observe, Report. She succeeded for quite a few years. Regularly updating the USA with information and Russian information. However in 1985, a Russian operative caught her making transmissions to the USA, and she was arrested and sent to Perm-36, A Russian forced labour camp. She was held for 24 hours a day in a special regime facility, the only one of its kind in the country, to house political prisoners in twenty-four-hour closed cells. She was eventually freed in December of 1987, when the camp was shut down. As prisoners were being escorted out of the camp to more conventional prisons, she made a run for it and managed to escape, albeit with a bullet graze on her arm. She eventually made her way into a local town, where she broke into the Town Hall during the night to make an SOS transmission to the USA. Before the mission, they had agreed on a meetup area should things go south, and within 12 hours, US operatives picked her up just outside of Kuchino and got her out of the country. The mission was supposed to last until 2000 (provided that the cold war did not end) but she requested immediate evac. The mission was not a total loss, and she was able to provide the CIA with invaluable information, that directly helped bring an end to the cold war, and in 1997 she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her efforts and bravery. (Pictured: Doris Malloway after receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Circa 1997. Captured using the Nikon FA) **This image would have the medal around her neck, but due to OOC restrictions, there is no clothing item like that in Menyoo, as far as I am aware** For the next several years, she stayed off the field, as the mental toll and PTSD of being imprisoned in a forced labour camp proved too much, and she was no longer as sharp or witty as she once was. She remained in the C.I.A, but as a translator of documents and intercepted messages. She took an early retirement in 2003 after 27 years of service, to focus on her home life and her relationship with Victor. However, 3 years later, Doris was diagnosed with early onset dementia after several months of memory loss, mood swings and difficulty concentrating. In 2006, Victor also retired from the C.I.A to take care of Doris full time, and support her needs. The loss of Victor. After just a year into their retirement, Victor fell extremely ill and was rushed to the hospital. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and they had caught it too late. The doctors gave him just 7 months to live, and so in that time Doris and Victor began working down their bucket list. They went skydiving, scuba diving, swimming with dolphins, rented and drove a sports car around some of their favourite spots, and made many more happy memories together. As the year went on, they did as much as they could before Victor was bedridden. He managed to live longer than expected, but died after 14 months on the 19th of October, 2007. He passed away in his sleep, and his funeral was held shortly after, and his remains were cremated. This event worsened Doris's condition over the coming years. Her memory loss would increase, her mood swings became more violent and her awareness of her surroundings became extremely bad, claiming that she was in different cities and time periods. She would also fall into a pit of paranoia and loss, believing that her teenage love, Beatrice was meeting her for lunch, or coming for dinner, or writing her letters. Doris began her habit of writing letters to herself from both Beatrice AND Victor to cope with her loss and sadness. These memories would become some of just a few that she never forgot. (Pictured: Doris and Victor Malloway, Circa 2007, a few months before his death. Captured using the Nikon FA) Late 2000's - Present day. In 2010, Doris was forced to sell the home that she and Victor had bought, and decided to move to Los Santos where she bought a crummy apartment on Ginger Street, Little Seoul. She brought almost everything, including the entirety of the contents of Victor's study room, and so her apartment was rather cluttered, and filled with hoarded items. She also sold her car, and instead purchased a Faggio and a Surfer minivan to drive around the unfamiliar city. As the years went on and she was medicated, her feelings of paranoia mellowed out, as she forgot what she was even paranoid about. Her situational awareness became less dramatic in the new location, but she still suffered from delusions of Beatrice and Victor, firmly believing that both were still alive, just away on business trips, or vacations. Her life for the next decade would be fairly uneventful, she simply watched the years go by, not really doing much or making new friends. However, in early 2020, her pension ran out as the medical bills for her medicines, and Victor's cancer had forced them to spend a chunk of it, and she was forced to get a job. She decided to look around the city, and went into Trinity, where she met and befriended Valon and Lexi Gashi, who own the bar. She was honest, and asked the two for a job as a cleaner, or a bartender and she was brought onto the team to serve drinks and wipe down the tables. She didn't grow as close to Valon, but her friendship with Lexi quickly blossomed, and although they're vastly different in age, Doris considers her one of the closest friends in her life. They go drinking together, they go to clubs, and they hang out and chat over coffee. Lexi even helped her to clean her apartment, ridding some of the things that she had hoarded over the years. **The rest of this thread will exist to showcase her day to day life activities and important events.They will all form naturally ingame. If you have high quality screenshots, and wish to share your interactions with Doris, please post them as a reply to the thread, Thanks for reading!**

  14. Short Description: An item that property owners/tenants can install the same way they install a door lock, a safe, or an alarm. Detailed description: Basically the idea is to install the item (and have the furniture installed correspondingly), having a similarity with the alarm or the safes. This way the owner/tenants can see a registry with all the RP that has happened in the past in that interior. This registry could be accessed with a simple command such as /cctv or /managecctv which would open up to a UI where we would see the logs of the /me, /do and all the entrances and exits to the interior. In that UI we could also manage other settings such as how far in the past do the cctv logs save, or if we want to save a specific cctv extract for the future (for example for robberies and their corresponding investigations). For the exterior cctvs this could also work but with a limited area around the building (and always roleplaying on where the cameras aim, and their weakspots). Adding automated "[Name] has entered the property." messages could also be an option, even if the characters don't actually roleplay inside. Commands to add: /cctv or /managecctv, /installcctv Items to add: cctv as a purchaseable item such as the doorlocks, alarms and safes. How would your suggestion improve the server? This way we can reduce the load on the admins without having to ask them for the logs in case something happened. This also helps reducing the powergaming done by the workers in a business for example that don't roleplay some situations, or roleplay them badly. Also, it'll help in situations where actual criminals would refuse to accept cctv, thus forcing them to actually roleplay having their actions being saved. Additional information: I'm open for any suggestions, but this would be all in the overall, it'd specially help the businesses and the legal factions.

  15. THE INTERVIEW Anthony Rossi places himself onto the couch and looks straight at the camera equipment, adjusts his aviators and clears his throat. “So, where do I begin? D’Arco wasn’t really a big name around the strip at the time. In Las Vegas they were more known for bein’ pickpockets and guys you could hire if you had a problem. Now, this was during the late 80’s. I was with those guys, we saw each other as brothers. We ended up doing a few security jobs at this casino called The Dune.” The reporter squints her eyes, interrupting Anthony’s story. “The Dune?” “Yeah. We didn’t know at ta’ time, but they had Raymond Patriarca as one of the main investors. So we end up together on a shift one night. 19th October, 1988. I’ll never forget that night. I was working the front that night, all of a sudden two guys walked into the casino. They were from.. what’s now known as Donna Street Crips or something like that. I tell ‘em to get lost, we didn’t appreciate them coming in, all trouble. They didn’t wanna leave, next thing.. they tried to swing at me...'' “Then what happened?” “Then Joey DiNunzio and Johnny D’Arco happened. They were only a little bit bigger than me, I was a kid at the time. So they threw them out of the casino faster than they came in. Hehehe.” “Aha, I see.” “First thing that happened? Raymond Patriarci took the three of us up to the VIP and I had my first glass of Dom Perignon. After that night, we started getting more and more jobs outside the casino.” “So this is when you started getting involved?” “Yeah. A few days after this happened, a guy who worked for the Patriarca’s, Joe Bianchi, called us and had a meeting. He paid us five grand to go and shake up a guy named Renaldo who owed a lot of money. So we went there, found the guy and gave it to him.” “You gave what to him, exactly?” “We beat him up. Joey and John almost killed the guy, I tried to calm ‘em down but they were like animals. So we went back to Joe with his money. That was our way into this life.” “So tell me about the bust? How did it end up like that?” “Right, that’s a long story. What happened was Johnny and Joey flew out to Los Santos in 1995 during the largest crack epidemic that San Andreas had ever seen. I joined them a year later after they had set everything up down on Atlee Street, across the precinct. It was a smart move, the area was crime-free while the rest of the city was on fire. It was the golden years of selling and trading drugs. But anything comes to an end. And as you already know, Joey DiNunzio got picked up and was given 15 years in the can for the cocaine bust in 2002.” “So how did you and those guys recover from that?” “It’s pretty simple, when one person gets off the streets another one bumps up. Things started to spin out of control, there was internal conflict for years without an end. This is where Jerry Limone is brought in. He was a long-time friend of Johnny and helped sort it out.” “What about today? Are they still out there?” Anthony lets a slow smirk appear on his face before he says. “They’re out there, don’t ever question that.” The New Era After the release of the known mobster Joseph DiNunzio, it was well known that there was work to be done internally in the crew. The dispute had come to an end after years of chaos and instability. The crew had suffered during these years and it was estimated that it would take a long time before they were back at the same heights in the underworld as they were known for. They still conduct most of their operations out of Downtown Los Santos, counting multiple rackets and schemes such as loan sharking, smuggling drugs and illegal gambling. OOC Information: The D’Arco Crew reserves the right to carry out a character-kill to any character that aspires to become a part of the faction.

  16. Sadie Hennessy: Her way of supporting Los Santos' heroes Maximus Knoth Sadie Hennessy, Host of Event On October 18th, 2020. Inside the church of Blaine County, an incredible event was hosted by Sadie Hennessy (Figure Above). Sadie is a pastor at Hill Valley Church located in Blaine County, a phenomenal woman with plenty of resources on hand. She not only guides locals who attend church, Ms. Hennessy also gives her time to hosting services every Sunday! Funerals, weddings... The entire package can be found at the Hill Valley Church! If you're interested in learning more about her community: The Hill Valley Church - Blaine County. With a powerful opening to her speech, Sadie continues to praise the Fire Department in Los Santos of their inspiring work. "Today, we have not superman, nor' do we have Captain America! But.. I have folk, who are better, in my eyes. For there are heroes among us! In our community, they protect us and save us, everyday! They's brothers, they's sisters. Ladies an' gentlemen? They's our family—Today we have with us the Los Santos Fire Department. I'd like y'all t'give them some county love! Please welcome them to the stand. Our REAL heroes!" Roxie Bauer speaking at the fundraiser, FD members behind her along with Sadie Hennessy With the successful opening of two new fire stations: Station One, Paleto Bay & Station Four, Sandy Shores. The event presented itself as a fundraiser for the Fire Department of Los Santos. As we hear more from Roxie Bauer of the LSFD (Figure Above): "It is always quite humbling being called a hero as we do not see it in that way, we do a job that we all love and are passionate for. We try our best to keep everyone safe. As previously mentioned, we have recently opened up station one and four, Paleto Bay and Sandy Shores respectfully. This is something that could not be achieved without the donations from the general public and it's something we rely on as a department. Advances in technology mean that we can help give you the best care and attention possible. After all, runnin' into burning buildings isn't everyone's cup of tea." Oswald Halford speaking with Roxie Bauer & Alice MacCarthy (Right) Below is an interview obtained by LSNN with PR Director of the Fire Department—Alice MacCarthy. Question: "What are your future plans moving forward? Would the focus be more on funding, opening more stations or perhaps more recruits?" Answer: "That would be a question for the Chief Fire Officers. But, I can say we're looking to push for recruiting volunteers for these stations." Question: "Can you describe the goal for this event?" Answer: "Our aim with this event was donations for Station One and Station Four within the county as these are our volunteer stations where a majority of funding comes from the public's generosity Question: "Do you plan on hosting more events like this partnering up with Ms. Hennessy? Is this event perhaps something we would see regularly?" Answer: "That would be up to Ms. Hennessy, generally Public Relations is up for everything within reason. As I said to Councilor Spencer, Public Relations has recently set up the Los Santos Fire Department Foundation. A charity aimed at raising money for the department and for local charities in Los Santos and Blaine County. So you can see a lot more of departmental events Public Relations host being charity related or accepting donations." VISIT OUR WEBSITE - CLICK HERE

  17. I just find it silly that illegal guns are far more extensive when realistically speaking most "illegal" guns are ones that were attained from legal owners or purchased legally through shady means. To the people complaining about "mall rats" (Is this 2014 LSRP lol?) need to take a hard look at the root of the problem. The fact that most people in general are too quick to kill. ESPECIALLY illegal roleplayers that don't have any sort of conscious or fear of their own lives. My state has fairly easy access to these guns. You know why they aren't getting used all the time? Because they're bulky as hell, the ammo is expensive, loud and tend to not be carried around anyways. If someone is gonna get you on the go its gonna be with a PISTOL. If you run up on someone's house? You might get shot by a 5.56 but its more likely you're gonna eat a shotgun. What people also ignore is the opportunity to specifically have different calibers for these guns because that is how they are in real life. Many of the "assault rifles" are just hunting rifles that've been built to model after an assault weapon. It's a cosmetic style. You can get anything from a .22, .308 to a 5.56. Obviously the 5.56 ones cost much more. The solution is to punish trigger happy people in general and really you're going to have a hard time justifying using a full sized rifle to attack in most circumstances. The "civilians" that use them against other people tend to either be spree killers or people that just got into a situation at home. So, how about the actual behavior is regulated that is very easy to see happen in lieu of blanket banning stuff. One actually raises the standard while the other just lets it remain low with other ways to do poor RP.

  18. Short description: Separate the weapon specialist and the serial remover supplier to be two different entities. Detailed description: With the new update, every single person that was a serial remover supplier has now suddenly become a somewhat trained gunsmith, which makes no sense. There's a massive difference between scraping off serial numbers and drilling third pin holes and turning semi auto AK's into giggle switched rifles. They should not be grandfathered in just because they were serial removers. It's two completely different skills. My suggestion is to turn them into either one into a stepping stone for the other or separate the two entirely. Your average gangbanger scraping his serial off is not gonna have a fun time precisely drilling a third pin hole and turning his semi auto rifle into a full auto. And even then, where's he gonna get quality parts from without being diddled by the ATF? Coat hangers in AK's rarely last and they're a death wish to work with, same for turning AR pattern rifles full auto. Sure, you can do it, but in most cases, your average gangbanger won't be turning them into anything reliable.

Commands to add: N/A Items to add: N/A, simply separate the two "jobs" or turn them into stepping stones for one another. How would your suggestion improve the server? Well, for one, you'd see more realism. Your average gangbanger won't have the know how or parts to turn a semi auto rifle full auto. Using makeshift parts won't make the gun last. Makes no sense to allow a person to go from scraping serials to drilling holes and turning rifles into full autos. Additional information: N/A
