Remove Laser tag guns

[warnipple]

Remove all the laser tag stuff. They serve no purpose other than to bait sec into getting a job ban.

Personally inclined to agree with this one. I've seen quite a few members of sec overreact to laser tag guns and get themselves job banned over it - competent ones, too. They're fun to mess around with sometimes, but it can royally fuck over someone if they have something important on them and they suddenly see lasers flying towards them.

You could of course, not jump the gun. It isn't too hard.
I guess they're put in as well to help prevent that.

A competent officer would not kill somebody over laser tag. Keep them.

To be fair, the red laser tag beam shares the same coloring as lethal lasers.

[andersonconagher]

But you have to wear highly distinctive armor and get a different text. You also don't get damaged by them.

[Marde]

Yeah but do you think a guy getting lasers fired at him is going to think to look in the chatbox?

[HeathclifFlowen]

It should probably fall under the "Act like an antag..." clause like all the other meta items do. If you run around in the fake red space suit purposefully acting like an asshole to sec, then you don't get to complain when someone from sec might confuse you for a nuke op and get robust with you.

You wanna play laser tag then play laser tag with someone. DON'T break into sec and start shooting randomly, you're gonna get your head caved in.

tasor them first then look at your health that simple

Seriously though, I've seen people fire off the laser tag guns during a rev round or nuke op round at high-priority targets[read: the HoS] and in return, in the heat of the moment, the HoS actually fires lethals because it's fucking dumb. Or someone like the Captain, who it's possible might not be carrying a stun weapon and only have his antique laser for one reason or another. In the heat of the moment, people get carried away, and understandably so because they think they're in serious danger. If they were to read the chat everytime someone fired something at them, they'd be dead most of the fucking round.

Wonder if they could make it so they only work in the fitness area. Maybe around dorms or the locker room too.

[kirbyroth]

well if you firing of laser tag during nuke op then your useless go troll the nuke op instead at least get them to waste ammo on you lol

My OP is obviously biased but this is exactly what happened to me, I was shot at by a red laser tag gun at arrivals.

Keep laser tag. Give it just any other sound and laser visual.
