tv's and toasters - are the weapons a little silly?

Would be nice if you could carry all those stuff in real life, you know.
But boy, robbers would become damn happy about it so I guess it isn't much nice by now...

Y a know I really liked the idea of improvised weapons, however the thing about it that really annyoed me was that single use items such as the weights were only one use. I mean they were heavy ass weights you should be allowed to use them more than once.

why do the items break so fast too? i mean, a hammer or a tire iron isn't going to break in real life if you hit a soft, squishy living thing, like 3 times.

They could have given you more hits to make it a bit more realistic :/

The silly part is being able to carry 3 toasters, 2 IV drip stands, 3 sledge hammers, 5 wooden sticks, 2 guns, .... :lol:

I think throwing toasters and T.V's is pretty stupid. Travis is like a... Ermm... Macho man who can pummel monsters with his fists. Seeing him throw a toaster is... Well... Comical in my opinion.

Cause if they don't break you just would have a couple of weapons instead the big selection of stuff so you would be here asking what the hell doesn't Travis have more weapons...

Remember, is a game...

The more realistic is SH4, normally you just would keep a couple of items with you for save energy...

I'd say a laser beam is a pretty silly weapon too.
