Recoil, sure...? I guess, but that's super easy or irrelevant on most headshot wars weapons. Spread is just a dumb RNG mechanic and takes no skill, you can't even control it without cheats. Xpro's thing sounds pretty cool, maybe with limited cjump spamming too.
while i love the idea... this is gmod we're talking about, what skill are you eluding to in the average player? like if by bad luck the better players are taken out early, that round is gonna be an hour long autist match
Tec-9 should be removed yes, but i don't agree on adding M14 to the roster since it's basically point and spam mouse1 weapon just like the SL8, but with less recoil and faster firerate
I told @Opalium and @Highwon how to fix crouch jump spam with a few lines of lua to block it to like once per 5 seconds. They haven't done anything visibly with that yet (that I know of)
