[suggestion] use guns as melee weapons
New, WishlistPublic

Description

We often see handguns used as melee weapons in the movies. When we're out of ammo, we should be able to hold a gun and swing it like a weapon.

I like the idea but it's has already be suggested somewhere. Flashlight will be great to use as melee to be able to see in the dark AND hit (like in Rust : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwnLH8b-mro#t=50)
Someday we will have melee for bayonet... maybe this will be after. Be patient ;)

A flashlight that uses a 9V battery will do very low damage (45 grams). A flashlight with 4 batteries can be more powerful as weapons. It will take several strikes to kill a zombie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-43bwifmNs

I want to pistol whip my prisoners.

9V battery is just a standard battery in game to avoid multiple type. (a round battery is present in game file however). It fit even on FNX45 red dot sight so size is not relevant.

It should still make more damage than your bare hands.
And I'm pretty sure being stabbed in the head by a metallic tube should knock me out easily :)
