What's the title of your suggestion?: Metal bat nerf/Alternative to it.

What's your suggestion?:
For the longest time, metal bats have been the go-to item for CrimeRP/GangRP. Whether it's fighting or general roleplay on either end.

As much as I love the metal baseball bat, it has its downsides, making it one of the most commonly used weapons in Gangrp. A great Idea would make sense is to bring the range down on the metal bat by 1, decreasing the range from 3 blocks to 2 blocks.

Reasons why: The metal bat is a civilian weapon, making it purchasable from everyone who logs onto SRP. The three-block range that follows with it just makes it a little OP, and here is why. The metal bat outranges 90% of weapons within Gang/CrimeRP. I will put a list below showing what the bat can outrange, and what the bat is equal with/less range than.

OUTRANGED WEAPONS:
Spiked glove, Pipe Wrench, Pocket Knife (When used in hand), CrowBar, Sai, Tactical Knife, Fire axe, Spiked bat.

NEUTRAL RANGE/OUTRANGES:
Pocket knife (When thrown), Katana. Then the only weapon that outranges it, the Naginata.

Looking at that reference, 80% percent of weapons are outranged by the metal bat. Causing players to not care much for anything else, besides using the bat. As much as this is fine, it's a weapon that can be bought by anyone. Pairing that with the rule, Range isn't a visual thing. This makes it so that you will always need that extra action.

MY ALTERNATIVE: Adding a new weapon to CrimeRP would make people want to see what it is, and maybe bring a light into the scene for a bit out of curiosity. Nonetheless, it makes sense for it to have said a three-block range, and be a weapon that isn't available upon opening the server.

THE SLEDGEHAMMER:
A sledgehammer being added to SRP would benefit several subjects, which could bring more players into the scene.
Looking further at it, here are a few lines/stats that could be drawn when adding this weapon.

Street Gang/Organised gang only. Making it a weapon that can be purchased once you achieve one of those roles.
PRICE: ¥175,000
RANGE: 3 blocks
MUGGABLE (Y/N): Yes
K.O. (HOW MANY HITS?): 2 hits
ILLEGAL: Yes
PERMISSIONS REQUIRED? : Minors

Adding a weapon like the sledgehammer creates that distance needed from civilian weapons, allowing players to have the drive to make it to Street/Organized Gang. Along with making the change to the bat more efficient, where players don't have such a weapon that cancels the desire to use other weapons.

How will this benefit the server and community?:
This will help create a distance in the availability of weapons, and create more RP, as well as adding a new fun weapon for BMD to sell.

While I like the bat, I just feel like we need to nerf it a bit. Like, you could easily have your katana mugged if you have terrible roles, or you decide to stab alone! It makes total sense to me to rework or nerf the bat and add something like the sledgehammer! I think bringing it down to two blocks would be good enough! It makes the most sense to me at least!

I honestly thought metal bats were already two block range. It was a long time since I last used one of those... Anyway, the only thing that I would like to suggest is changing the replacement from OP. The sledgehammer serves more like a tool than a weapon (just like the pipe wrench, for example), so it wouldn't make much sense to make it accessible only for gangs. The Kanabō would be a better addition to this, for example, as it is considered a weapon and would make sense to restrict it for public use in Karakura.

-1 / neutral

it’s a good idea in theory, but this is just a bat with extra steps (only able to get it in a gang).

bumping the bat down to a 2-block-range puts it on par with a crowbar, with slightly less risk.

once again, the sledgehammer idea is good in theory but it feels like an illegal bat replacement

i would like to see another weapon sold, sure, but maybe not one that does the same as a metal bat does.

there’s only so many things weapons can do without it being repetitive
 
I can get behind decreasing the bat range from 3 to 2

the only thing that would make it suit what you wish, is for it to be a LEGAL weapon instead, since it is an everyday type of tool that could be used.
