Well the original idea for this was mostly to stop people (especially those with donator ranks) from constantly rtving.
Since donators have more RTV/Vote powers, doesn't take long to just start an RTV chain.
Basically, Map gets RTV'd goes to a map, someone says it's shit and RTVs and everyone...
I feel the silenced pistol definitely needs some sort of tweaking/buff.
Almost no one buys it as it's practically outclassed by the TMP.
Not sure what happened with the old silenced pistol (diff model, sounds + accuracy) but that one was actually pretty decent.
