Harpoons

Harpoons one hit basically anywhere on the body, have extreme accuracy, extreme range, extremely fast travel time, you can buy MULTIPLE of them, and they have almost instant pull out time(you can't throw a knife until around 1-2 seconds after you pull it out) as seen here in the code for them:

Code:

function SWEP:Equip()
  self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + (self.Primary.Delay * 1.5) )
  self.Weapon:SetNextSecondaryFire( CurTime() + (self.Secondary.Delay * 1.5) )
end

If you compare the two it is insane how much better the harpoon is.

I personally think the harpoon should be changed to do 45~ damage and allow people to pick them back up instead. At this point they're just an extremely better throwing knife.

After reading some of the comments in this thread, I just think the pullout time should be increased by double or triple what it currently is, and make it have a charge for the throw which will determine how much damage it will do on hit.

Wouldn't Equip only get called when they purchase it/pick it up? It should prolly be changed to SWEP.Deploy so the delay happens every time you try to pull it out.
