	Damage is comparable to the Rifle, in terms of vehicle armor damage, but soft targets are where the SMG really excels. The SMG is capable of causing massive concussion hits, and internal damage to drivers and pedestrians.		Damage is comparable to the Rifle, in terms of vehicle armor damage, but soft targets are where the SMG really excels. The SMG is capable of causing massive concussion hits, and internal damage to drivers and pedestrians.

	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.

	A cross between a Flaming Oil Jet and a Grenade, this improvised explosive consists of a bottle of gasoline and oil with a rag stuffed inside. It is thrown like a grenade, but lacks the 3-second timer. Upon contact, it ~~does not explode, but instead~~ creates a puddle of flaming oil that causes damage-over-time to the tires and bottom armor of any vehicle that gets hit or drives over it. The flaming puddle lasts for a very long time. It seems to have better range than the Grenade.

Trifler: Removed the terms "non-violent" and "hand-to-hand firearm combat" from the first sentence. First one out of context and no such thing for the second. Capitalized "P" and "R" in Paint Rifle.

	The only very obvious positive point about the pistol right now is its low bulk. 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.
