So, whats the secret behind the foam force pistol?

From looking at code it seems like it applies that label to ammo that either has a 0 or negative damage multiplier, or that does no damage at all either to stamina or to health.
I don't know why "foam_force" has an underscore in it though.

Doesn't foam force do damage to stamina?

Foam riot darts do, that message implies you have regular weenie darts.

You can pop the cap off normal darts with a screwdriver and insert pens into the darts to do an 'ok' amount of damage, if you can find enough pens. This works for edaggers, too, so you can have a foam force that does ~60 damage to an unarmored person per shot and embeds 100% of the time.

....

I should probably check something really quick.

Edit:


That's a lot of damage.

Specifically, this is the clandestine version of the foam force, so it deals extra damage. The end result is that you crit in two, and you can pick up your darts and do it again to someone else. Very vicious.

Does anyone else see this thread in triplicate? How the hell did that happen?

tostah had an internet hiccup and posted it three times by accident
I replied to all three because i thought it was funny

I've only ever seen doubleposts before. This is like a triple rainbow.

Shits probably weird because the normal foam darts only do stamina damage to people holding foam force guns.

That is not how our darts work. I am not sure what codebase does this, but it isn't ours.

Riot darts do stamina damage because they are the special type of dart that does stamina damage to everyone. Normal darts do no damage at all unless modified with a pen.
