Great for immersion, but there are already enough issues with airsoft that another complex element isn't going to help.
So we shouldn't add elements because it can screw things up? Should we revert back to no respawns? No medic rules? No missions? All those things add complex elements, and we seem to cope pretty well with them.
I would also prefer they be restricted to admins, as there just seems like too large of a liability once you start allowing larger numbers of blank firing weapons from other individuals, which when you think about it, most of the blank firing weapons we are talking about really begin in a lethal state and have to then be modified to be nonlethal through the use of blanks and a BFA.
Guns are neither lethal nor non lethal in their normal state. What the operator chooses to load them with determines which side of the scale they drift onto.
The potential for a ND just seems really problematic to me from a liability standpoint, and it really reminds me of a player's 'incident' with the BFA at one of the early MSW games.
There were a very large number of blank firing weapons at the most recent MSW event. There were 0 ND's. The structure for blanks was very controlled and well explained to all those using them.

1.) Who can use blanks (Admins only, or players)
3.) Use of Blanks indoors
4.) Calling of Blank Hits
