Which is awesome in the latest PSM3 issue they said that you find survivors and they will help you and you will make camps. You will also threat others by holding a gun up to them but it isnt loaded with bullets.

there probaly is loaded guns,and maybe even ammo,(in the game world not actually usable), though maybe the designers thought "it's a disaster game, not a action or shooting game, so why would we want to make the guy shoot people?"

Its Chicago and if its any where near the South side you better believe theres gonna be guns lotsa guns and lotsa people that want to kill you.

i cant remember where i read this but there are going to be guns in the game. sometimes you will find ammo but rarely. you wont just find ammo anywhere, the game is trying to be realistic rather then finding ammo all over the place. also, you can intimidate people with unloaded guns, due to the fact that the people (a.i) in the game dont know that it isnt loaded.

If you are playin a civilian then you wouldn't naturally grab a gun and start shootin up the place, so gettin a gun and intimidating people would be a better thing to introduce imo.
Even if you had a gun that was loaded and some one kept running towards you just shooting up in the air would be a good to put in aswell . . . try scare them off.

Hopefully using a gun will have realistic consequences and may not always be the best choice. Like other allied survivors will become scared and may attack you as soon as you run out of ammo, or may try to steal the gun, or it will just escalate the violence. Sort of like in War of the Worlds, in the mobbed car scene.

Is´nt that the American way? All civilians own or can handle guns? =)

well unfortunately (or fortunately) im not american
although the thing about getting shot up because you found a glock or some sort of other pistol (no i will not accept Ak-47's and M4's)
But at the very most for ranged weapons you maybe could fit in 1 shotgun (double barrelled) with maybe 2-5 shells. (unless you somehow rescue some survival expert who starts making bows and arrows.) i agree with Tezz95 as firing a warning shot would be good rather than blowing their F**king head off.
Although if this game does not have many ranged weapons then they should pack in a ton of melee weapons (like the wood of broken benches or a conveniently placed baseball bat )

I agree, I think melee weapons are goin to be the main form of attack because lots of items lying around can be used as weapons let alone after an earthquake (or whatever happens )

Having any weapon so that you are posing a threat or some intimidation would be good rather then just having a gun to frighten people off, cause I know for sure I would have to be pretty desperate or think I could take some one even if they had a baseball bat in their hands to just run at them and attack them.

As for any gun shops around the city . . . I think somehow they would of been looted first in a game like this.

well gun shops, for the first thing to make this game more survivaly some a majority of the gun should have fallen down the middle of the Earth and lost forever, others should be scattered in buildings and you could have some slightly unacessable ones (like theres a weapon with a strap hanging of a lampost over some lava, for example, and you need to get some things to solve like some puzzle)

and the game could let you fashion your own weps like having some wood and then happening to find some nails and a hammer and then bang them into the wood for another example. oh and with the gun thing you could hold it to their heads and get them to give you supplys with some intimidation.

where is Ray Mears when you need him

Maybe, you could improvise. I hope there isn't like a INFINITE AMMO perk or anything gay like that. But if you find a shotgun, maybe the people youre pointing it at find out it's not loaded, but theres not many attackers, you could tear a pipe from the wall, or a board of wood off the ground and beat them off. Sorta Condemned style in a way, just believable.
