CDFMLIE Officers+ now have the ability to use flare guns in certain situations. But with these comes a few rules. The rules for them may change over time.
I do think it's a little odd how there are rules to use these, but theres only five, so calm down. And, we don't want them getting abused and then unapproved
1: Officers and above ONLY are allowed to use these. Peyton specifically asked me that I not make it so everyone got issued one, and then there'd be low budget fireworks everywhere. Now this doesn't mean apply for officer just so you can get to use one. You may get to use one during an RP, if an officer or C rank personally gives it to you
2: It isn't a toy. This should go without saying, but just to make sure. The flares guns are only to be used in Tactical, and Emergency situations. Tactical, being signalling a retreat, or such. And emergency being self explanatory.
3: Use. You cant just suddenly do *fires flare* or Id fire a flare. This is how it should go over
It take out the flare gun
Id insert [or load] a flare
Id fire it [into the air]
Its a break action, single shot. So it needs to be manually loaded each time.
You only have 6 flares issued each week [each RP] [according to the lore I wrote] so don't waste them all. That means once they're all out, you don't get anymore. The lore says we get an exact amount for each person to get 6 flares each week. You're allowed to regain your flares in a different RP.
4: It can be a last resort weapon. I don't recommend using the flare gun to defend yourself, but if you have no other weapon available currently, you COULD launch a flare at someone. It will only stun them for a few seconds, because it is a burning stick fired at a high velocity, but it definitely wont drastically hurt someone. You'd basically only use it as a weapon, to stun someone to get in a few hits. You still have to pull it out [if you don't have it in your hand already] and load a flare into it. Remember you only have 6 flares on you, so dont waste them all, continuously stunning them.
5: Miss-use. If you are to abuse the flare gun [ Not abiding the flare gun's lore/physics, Firing it constantly without a valid reason, constantly wasting ammo, etc.] you'll probably not be allowed to use it. Any further problems involving the flare gun will probably have more consequences within CDFMLIE.
