They're not entirely wrong! 1. Detailed Description As someone who has a character working in an Ammu-Nation, I find the selection of general items, and self-defense weapons really lackluster, generally, if you're lucky at peak times, you'll get a few customers wanting to buy ammunition for their already acquired pistols, it's generally an interaction that's a little rushed (Not the case for everyone but it happens) And what you end up with is having maybe 3-5 minutes of player interaction. If you're lucky, you get more than that. Yes, the argument that you could spend the rest of that time cleaning countertops, mopping the floor, sorting ammo, cleaning guns - All of it is valid. However that is all said and done, what I think would bring more roleplay to Ammu-Nation stores would be to have more choice in what people get to buy. How about using this as an opportunity to add functional items for hunters, which in turn would not only increase the interest in hunting but also increase Ammu-Nation's popularity with hunters? How about the various knives that pawnshops get to sell? Why can't a store specifically made around selling weapons get to sell knives? No, that is absolutely not going to result in "Everyone carrying a knife" either. A lockpick costs more than a certain pistol at an Ammu-Nation store, so do the aforementioned knives. If people really want something, they will get it regardless. 2. Relevant Commands/Items Here are a few items that would be really good to add: Batons: https://gta5-mods.com/weapons/classic-wooden-baton https://gta5-mods.com/weapons/asp-baton Knives: Knife Switchblade Others: Knuckleduster Hunting Equipment: Flare Gun/Flares https://gta5-mods.com/scripts/binocularsv https://gta5-mods.com/scripts/thermal-vision Ammunition types w/ REQUIRED license: (I know. PD already has this, so very unlikely that it might even get considered, but here goes nothing. Merely suggesting this shouldn't discredit the whole thread, however.): Pistol rubber-ball ammunition: Causes 3 points of damage and makes the screen of the person who has been shot shaky and blurry momentarily. Doesn't knock them out, as opposed to PD's, but disorients them enough. Miscellaneous: Various food items would add a little layer of realism. When you go hunting, for example, you don't go there without packing food first unless you want to hunt whilst being groggy. 3. How will it benefit the server? Honestly? More actual roleplay first and foremost. Yeah, anyone right now can go ahead and roleplay getting a few Ammu-Nation branded snacks and a hunting vest at their local gun store. The question is, will they do it? Most likely not, if it's not an actual item. So what's my argument? IMO, You need things to be more available if you want people to be interested in something. This isn't about making guns accessible to everyone, this is about bringing a semblance of choice in the matter. It's the same reason a lot of RP events are empty if they don't include a prize at the very least. Secondly, this adds more depth, in my opinion, depth is always welcome and encourages interactions. I feel like Ammu-Nation stores are effectively treated as a big [BUY GUN / BUY AMMO] button, and I feel like a 24/7 corner store has more roleplay around it. More items to get would mean the businesses would get more attention. I'm sure there are a lot of gun enthusiasts who would love to converse with other people while buying supplies, I've seen it happen. But unfortunately, that doesn't happen nearly as enough as it should in an RP server. [END OF SUGGESTION] Here are my arguments for some of these additions: The problem with these types of suggestions would be the potential misuse of said additions. I strongly believe that if someone wants to abuse a feature/item/command, they will. There is no preventing them if they put enough dedication and that works with anything, but there IS the possibility of stopping it, as well as making it extremely inconvenient for them to do so if they succeed. Flare Gun/Flares I know what the assumption will be: "Every gang banger will buy this and use them for robbery and setting each other on fire!") - Maybe, yes. So, how about modifying the weapon stat files in order to make it so that it doesn't set things/people on fire? Flare guns are extremely useful, especially if you want to scare off animals. Besides, if someone uses a flare gun in a shoot-out against a live firearm? Congratulations to them, they're officially not only breaking the fear RP rules, and people will gladly report them for it, but they will also get absolutely obliterated by the opposing party with the actual firearms in hand. You can also get around the issue of it being accessible to everyone by making this weapon only available to those with a valid hunting license. - Thermal vision: Yeah, this is definitely far fetched- But hey, these are expensive in real life, it could also be these in-game, as well as needing a hunting license for nerfing purposes- Yes, these are sold to everyone IRL, but that argument does not seem to work here much. It needs nerfing if it is to be ever added. Make these 60k-80k or even 100k legal for example, and they'll be sold 200k in the black market. It's ridiculous, but hey don't use this in the hood, it's unrealistic, you'll probably get reported and punished for wearing 200k+ thermal vision goggles for a shootout with your illegal 25k pistol. On the other hand, for people who actually want to go hunting in the night? This is an absolute blessing. Rubber ball ammunition: Simple, If people really want to use this ammunition type to rob people, honestly? Be my guest. I'd rather get shot by this than a live round. This is most likely not going to save your life if the other party has a firearm with lethal ammunition, so it'd often be recommended to carry lethal ammunition with you as well. La fin Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and the idea that I am presenting is not perfect, I am very conscious of that and treat my suggestions as mere baselines for discussions, if you feel like something should be added to this suggestion, please let me know so I can potentially add it here, I'd be more than happy. It is your absolute right to not agree with this suggestion or with a comment, however, if you do please remain respectful at the very least when disagreeing.

Detailed Description Motorcycles are important assets when it comes to everyday personal transportation, and it's no secret that people use them for travel across LS and its county. We currently do have decent choice when it comes to motorcycles. We can have scooters, dirt bikes, sports bikes, and cruisers and chopper bikes. However, with said categories, it's hard to really pick a middle ground. "What's a middle ground?" you ask? Well, that'd be the kind of bikes that MC Clubs wouldn't care for, and the kind of bikes that die-hard sports bike riders would sort of acknowledge without giving them a second thought. But then, what exactly are we talking about here? It's quite vague, isn't it? Let me give you a few examples. Trails. This is a trail bike, the 4x4 of bikes, in a way. Trail bikes are supposed to be multi-purpose motorcycles which allow users to travel both on the road and off-road to a certain extent. The BF-400 is a good example. However what the BF400 Lacks, is a top case and satchels. "Why in the world would a top case and satchels matter? Why not get a Western Bagger or Western Sovereign or a Dinka Thrust in that case?" Simple, those bikes cannot possibly do off-road. They are simply not designed for that. A good example of an already existing trail bike in GTA V that does meet this criteria is the Manchez Scout. Roadster/Street bikes They're not made to out perform sports bikes. They're a little in-between, let's say. These are the kind of bikes that you'd use if you want to ride in the city. They're pretty agile and easy to handle, especially for beginners. The riding positions is most usually upstraight. Touring bikes This is a touring bike. An example of such a bike in GTA V would be the Dinka Thrust. They're used for covering long distances mostly, if you live in the county and work in the city, these bikes are a good choice. Big scooters or "Maxi-Scooters" They're big. They cross a line in the scooter industry. Your conventional 50cc scooter is no match for these, both in performance and in terms of comfort. Maxi-scooters are less common in America, but they still most definitely exist. You will most often find them in city environments. Relevant Commands/Items Here is a list of a few mods. Keep in mind that I know these are actual brands and that GTA W uses GTA V "off" brands of said vehicles (Dinka, Western, Nagasaki etc). This is more to showcase the different types of motorcycles that I feel would be a great addition.

Already existing GTA V motorcycles: Nagasaki Shinobi Manchez Scout (See above) How will it benefit the server? The main reason I'm suggesting the addition of these types of motorcycles is that I find that variation matters. Not everyone wants a cruiser/sports bike/dirt bike when they go to a dealership. Some people want a bike for the hobby or simple travel from A to B, just like some others will find a specific type of bike useful for work due to their utilitarian function. This is equally important for police or other lines of work which could use such mobility bikes offer. The BF400 that police use in county for example does tick the boxes of being a trail bike, but officers do have equipment they need to haul around, and I find the BF400 a little lackluster when it comes to storage.
