this rule literally hurts rp what r u talking about, all it does is destroy the ability to provide medical rp to people in an INJURED state all due to sustaining a headshot. how about you finish ur kill instead 

 

The rule is implemented to ensure people are not power gaming and turning gunfights into unrealistic death matches actually. Nearly all shots to the head are fatal, so the need to do injury rp of going up to the corpse and inspecting the newly formed hole.

 

I still feel strongly we should not change this. If there is an instance where an individual is shot, they can always request an admin through / report or attempt to overturn on CK.

This is NOT a thing, I have no idea who told you this. But it is not a thing that is currently on the server. Because I can tell you, the IFM discord would be up in arms about instant headshots existing. 

 

it IS a thing bro...

if u get shot in the head and downed, you're dead.
good rule, keep it the way it is. No need for more 50 cent rp

As a Paramedic with Wings IRL, we don't even contain or handle headshots. If they're cracked in the dome, we stabilize for transport and, as we say: "100% oxygen 100% Diesel" Severe Cranial Trauma is no joke and on-scene handling wou8ldn't occur. Especially in a place with a fast enough response time as downtown LA.

Headshot + being downed = being dead. It's been a thing for eons. The more rules change towards making player kills a bigger deal than they already seem to be, the more it gets confusing. The only exception where you can role-play a head wound as a graze is when you get away without being in injured mode.

nobody benefits from it except the shooter

Exactly, and there's nothing wrong with that.

-1 Keep the rule as is

Should remain as is honestly, Headshot and in Brutally Wounded = Death , if you're not in BW and you have a headshot you can RP it as a graze. It's been like that for years for as long as I can remember. No need to overcomplicate a simple rule.

This rule has been up for probably over two years there’s no need for a change.

 

As brought up before gunshot wounds should be dangerous and fatal and if somebody’s wig get split they’re done, we don’t need a lot of 50 cent and Donald Trumps.

headshot and in an injured state = graze

I have already said this about the headshot rule and made my suggestion. If you bleed out with a headshot is it fair to assume someone is dead? Perhaps just RP it as a graze.

I agree with this as well.

If you are shot in the head and bleed out from it then it prevents you from roleplaying any further. You have to roleplay your brains being splattered like it's from point-blank range no matter what. Imagine you're being shot inside a car and you get hit once in the head for thirty-four because the shooter was far away and then you get shot in the chest causing a bleedout. Would it be fair to assume the bullet didn't actually ricochet or even hit you dead center?
