[2021] Does Area Saturation NOT Work For The TAC700 (Pepperball)?

The impact method also needs a nerf, it's way too easy. I've been hit directly with a pepperbal 5 round burst in training, it's just a painful paintball impact, it is not as effective as ingame. Maybe bare stomach or a thin tshirt it can stop those who are surprised.

Maybe if they replaced the TAC700 with the FN303 in the final game the impact's effect would make sense. Most people don't even shoot people with it in training because it's too powerful and can cause more serious injury.

Chemical agents in general need more of a delay for effectiveness, suspects with glasses and gas masks should appropriately reduce effectiveness, and suspects in armor should be immune to pepperball impacts and beanbags to the chest.

I've been hit by a lot of pepper balls. In a rain jacket, track suit, or sweater/ hoodie you don't even notice the impact. I took one to the neck once, that stung good. When you pull the sweater off and dump all the pepper dust in your face that sucks a lot, but other than mild irritation I didn't notice much effects from the chemical irritants on impact, but it's always been outside.

Bean back shotguns like those used in game do hurt, but in baggy clothes like those worn by the guys in the yellow hoodies you can definitely shrug em off (although I've never gotten one at less than 10m ish). Even in lighter clothes I've never been winded or knocked down by them, and I'm not particularly tough. 40mm rubber bullets though, those hurt and have a similar effect to the bean bag guns in game.

I'm not super effected by tear gas, it just kinda burns and makes my eyes water at exposure levels that have made others throw up. That said I definitely wouldn't want to be gassed indoors without a mask like the suspects are in game.

I've not been pepper sprayed ever, but I've rendered aid to people who have been bear maced within seconds if it happening and had secondary effects, it definitely made my eyes burn and water. So I can imagine getting hit in the face with it is pretty terrible. The people I've treated where not having a good time and without aid couldn't fight it flee very well.
