    Hello! I've regularly started playing jailbreak on your servers again about a week ago (one of my fav communities ever), and I just wanted to make a tiny suggestion about something that always bothered me:

    Why don't the .228 Compact, Five-Seven, and Dual Elites have the warden laser functionality?

    The laser is an immensely useful tool that serves as a visual guide for both CTs and Ts. You can tell Ts where to go in case they don't know the name of the place your talking about, you can show CTs where you want them to be, delineate spaces to tell people where to not go past, point at certain objects or players, play games with it (if you're inventive enough), and generally anything that might involve coordination of some kind (basically the point of JB) benefits from the laser. I'm sure this is all known, but I still wanted to make the case that the laser in Jailbreak is a really versatile tool that most everyone who plays Jailbreak appreciates.

    The Deagle, Glock, and USP have the laser. This is great! Most CTs stick to the Deagle (it's the default), and some go for the USP or Glock if the armory has it. But sometimes an armory has neither a USP nor a Glock, but it might have the other pistols. The main reason for swapping out the Deagle for something else is because I really like to be generous with warning shots and the Deagle is a 2-hit kill anywhere but the legs (becomes 3 hit kill). Switching to the M4 to warning shoot is a waste of time and turns off your laser (this is assuming that you're not using an AWP or some other primary). The Deagle is also sub-optimal sometimes and maybe I would like to use a pistol with 20 rounds (Five Seven) or 30 (Dualies) to complement a slow primary like a sniper rifle or shotgun. The other pistols need love too! The Dualies are so great in CS:S and I love the Five Seven! It's always nice to have variety and change things up, but this lack of laser functionality pigeon holes you into either using the Deagle (if no Glock or USP are available) or passing on the laser feature if you want to use the other pistols (boo!!! so sad!).

    So I would really be so happy if your could add the laser to other pistols if this doesn't represent a technical hassle. I assume implementing the laser for the Compact and Five Seven is simple, but maybe for the Dualies you would have two lasers that converge into one at the end of both beams. Alternatively, you can have the right-hand pistol be the laser one. I don't know! This is up to the experts (you guys).

    Thanks a lot!! Hope you consider this. I've added a poll as well.

    I don't think it's needed to have the laser on all guns, we do have it on our CSGO JB server but not on the CSS one. Why do you want it on other pistols, most of our players don't even use these guns and in general, those are the best pistols to use in CSS. Better for your skills, aim and that's all you need in CSS in my opinion.

    Glock, USP, and Deagle have the laser, I think that's enough, it's also more common because most of the players from our community use Deagle as a secondary weapon. Don't think it's worth changing that just to have a laser for the other 3 pistols. No one uses these guns anyway.

    Myself, I use the glock/USP alot since I want to improve my aim/skills with those. I barely touch the other ones... I don't think I'm the only one tho.

    Dualies are overpowered in CS:S and have, not often, seen them being used. I fell they are a grate pistol choice for when using an M3 as they are easibly spammable.
    I don't agree for all guns though, but it would be nice for consistancy for such a simple task in my eyes.

    Not all guns!! Just the rest of the pistols. And I explained my reasons in the OP and lots of people agree with me. Think a lot of people would appreciate it and even start using the other pistols if they knew they could laser with them.

    No one uses other guns because they can't use laser with them?
    I would rather have dual elites but if i'm commanding or warden dies and i take over, i won't be able to use it. Probably some people use deagle because of that.

    I pickup m3 whenever it's posible, as he said duals are perfect for m3

    the laser is more important than any other thing for a warden, the ts can follow your direction by just pointing the laser without having to tell them where to go ( at least sometimes )
    and having the laser for only 2 pistols (deagle/usp) is really annoying
    + to add on this suggestion : add laser to all weapons (Rifle / sniper / nade / knife .....)
    so the warden doesn't have to swap to secondary every time just to use the laser for couple seconds

    I'm really excited about this :whew:

    Kinda shortsighted IMO. There's no reason why there shouldn't be a laser on all pistol besides the effort of implementing it. I don't think primaries should have a laser though.

    I don't mind the idea of it being on all pistols. It just depends on when anyone will get around to coding it.

    I wouldnt add it to all weapons, its actually useless and it can be used as a poor mans aim assist

    No it doesn't, one is enough. 2 is just confusing.

    wilds right your going to need to specific which laser to stack on left or right and I think that’s going to cause more accidental freekills then having just the one pointer

    Used an already existing script and changed it so only CT's with specific guns can use it

    One laser is better than none and two is just confusing. Can't wait to finally see the P228, Five-Seven, and Dualies with (ONE) laser implemented on the server. Thanks guys.
