Getting out of an armed vehicle when other armed vehicles are shooting at you is not always the smartest move. If you feel the need to do it, however, you should arm your gang members with one of the various pedestrian weapons available. | Getting out of an armed vehicle when other armed vehicles are shooting at you is not always the smartest move.

This is based on limited testing, however. It may need a magazine size increase if that really is its only feature. Currently, I could see using two at a time especially if the mag size is increased to like 15 (Like the Beretta92F). Then you'd have 30 shots for 2 bulk, compared to the rifles 2 bulk for 20 shots. As it stands, again, unless I'm missing something, it's primary role is backup. You could switch out one of your rifle mags 1 bulk for a pistol, and if you're in a tight situation, switch to the pistol if your rifle is out of ammo. I could see this being especially good for sniper-focused peds using the crossbow since the crossbow has a tiny ammo clip, and using a crossbow and a rifle uses up 4 bulk. | ||

Its low magazine size limits its usefulness as a primary weapon. It is best used as a back up weapon, to finish off enemies, once armor siding is gone. It's also useful in pedestrian combat arena events. | |||

In pedestrian scouts, it is recommended to have at least 1 paint rifle pedestrian for every 2 damage-dealing pedestrians. | ||

A cross between a | A cross between a flaming oil jet and a grenade, this improvised explosive consists of a bottle of gasoline with a rag stuffed inside. It is thrown like a grenade, but lacks the 3-second timer. Upon contact, it creates a puddle of flaming oil that does damage to tires and bottom armor, and lasts for a very long time. Seems to have better range than the grenade. | ||
