Kyle lazily looks at the woman. If he could he would roll his eyes.

You're comparing Roleplays to things that are very different. Simply put you can't really make the exciting by applying the same tatics, I, and I'm using myself as the example because I don't speak for anyone else, would prefer to have my shots, slices, and bashes described realistically, not 'you shoot him and do enough random points of something to kill him' because that's boring, if I don't severely cripple someone by shooting them in the gut then something is wrong.

Also two problems with the 'roll high and headshot someone' one a lethal shot does not have to be a head shot and really you don't even need a kill shot to make someone stop shooting at you. Number two is that headshots have a small chance of letting the target live and are inefficient. Body shots are much better. Also most people can run from a firefight due to the fact that most people don't know how to lead a target.

Also news flash weapons are made to make things go really fast and are pretty boring in general.

I thought of a bad and really mean way to stealthily infect people.

Actually magic guns could work if you made it so it's more a reward to people who put in the time and effort to get them. Also you could make guns as expensive as they are powerful and in addition everyone who doesn't have a reason to know how to shoot properly could take massive debuffs until they get experienced with the guns. And really any fight is boring if the GM doesn't write it well enough.

We keep letters if we use them. If you paid attention to the inventory you would know that.

Cackle evilly and then go and make designs for a robot hand.
