Allow downed infected marines to use pistols

[UltimateShrekFan]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Allow infected marines who can't stand due to pain hold and use a pistol.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It will prevent Xenos slashing infected hosts juuuuuust enough so that can't stand up and run, but not enough to die from their wounds. Because if the xenos rob you of your chance to escape, you should be able to rob them of their larvae. In return, the head should be completely destroyed, preventing the marine from getting cloned.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Pistols don't really do enough damage against aliens for marines to turn them on anyone but themselves. Xenos slashing infected so that they cannot run is a pretty cheesey strategy and putting a counter-balance to that is only fair.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

I'm neutral of this. The "slash juuuuust enough" crap needs to go, but I don't think that this is the way to fix it.

Being able to pull pins out of your grenades, though...

Somewhat agree but I really don't think the admins will like this

Blowing your brains out, on the other hand, should remove your chance at cloning since you don't have the neccessary genetic material left in order to be cloned (your brain).

Thats one of the few ways to grant instant death with a pistol, anyway, unless you fancy bleeding out.

It would also be the drawback because while you deny the xenos a larvae, you also deny yourself a chance at getting back in the game if there are no more larvae to be had and your body would have produced a larvae if you hadn't suicided.

Yes, 100%. The head should be completely destroyed. Amending the OP.
